What is High rate of multidrug resistance and integrons in Escherichia coli isolates from diseased ducks in select regions of China about?
With the increasing number of ducks being raised and consumed, it is crucial to monitor the presence of multidrug resistant **(MDR)** bacteria in duck farming. Waterfowl, such as ducks, can contribute to the rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes **(ARGs)**. The objective of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance **(AMR)**, ARGs, and mobile genetic elements **(MGEs)**, such as IS__26, tbrC__, IS__Ecp1__ in __Escherichia coli__**(__E. coli__)** isolated from the intestinal contents of diseased ducks between 2021 and 2022 in Sichuan, Chongqing and Anhui, China. The AMR phenotypes of 201 isolated __E. coli__ strains were determined using the minimum inhibitory concentrations **(MICs)** method. Subsequently, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing techniques were employed to screen for integron-integrase genes (__intI1, intI2, intI3__ genes), gene cassettes **(GCs)**, MGEs, and ARGs. The results demonstrated that 96.5% of the __E. coli__ isolates were resistant to at least 1 antibiotic, with 88.1% of the strains displaying MDR phenotype. The highest AMR phenotype observed was for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (88.1%). Furthermore, class 1 and class 2 in
