Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Listeria, Salmonella, and Yersinia species isolates in ducks and geese

The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Listeria, Salmonella, and Yersinia spp. isolated from duck and goose intestinal contents. A total of 471 samples, including 291 duck and 180 goose intestinal contents, were purchased from wet markets between Nove...
