“Superbugs” present in chicken, turkey, beef and pork, Spanish study finds. Multidrug-resistant E. coli were found in 40% of supermarket meat samples tested in a Spanish study. E. coli strains capable of causing severe infections in people were also highly prevalent, this year's European Congress
that produced extended-spectrum beta-lactamases , enzymes that confer resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins and the monobactam aztreonam.per meat type was: 68% turkey, 56% chicken, 16% beef and 12% pork. This higher presence of ESBL-producingstrains in poultry compared to other types of meat is likely due to differences in production and slaughter.. ExPEC possess genes that allow them to cause disease outside the gastrointestinal tract.

“Strategies at farm level, such as vaccines, to reduce the presence of specific multidrug-resistant and pathogenic bacteria in food-producing animals, which would reduce the meat carriage and consumer risk. “The consumer plays a key role in food safety through proper food handling.
