| antibiotic resistance in bacteria from magpies (pica pica) and rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) from west wales. | the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wild animal and bird populations is largely unknown, with little consistency among the few published reports. we therefore examined intestinal bacteria from magpies (pica pica) and rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) collected in rural west wales. escherichia coli isolates resistant to multiple antibiotics were grown from eight of 20 magpies trapped in spring, 1999 and one of 17 in spring, 2000; the most prevalent resistance trait among these isolat ... | 2001 | 11722546 |
