Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em> in healthy companion animals living in nursing homes and in the community (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Animals could be reservoirs of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) strains, but epidemiologic data on ESBL-producing bacteria in healthy pets are missing. We determined the prevalence
