Abstract:
The extensive use of several antimicrobials (aminoglycosides,
sulfonamides, tetracyclines and polymyxins) is a common practice in industrial rabbit farming to reduce the losses due to infectious diseases (Abecia, 2007). The aim of the study was the comparison of the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of Escherichia coli isolates from commercial meat rabbits versus
those isolated from wild rabbits never exposed to antimicrobial pressure. The class 1 and class 2 integrons were also investigated since their documented role in spreading of antimicrobial
resistance genes among microbial populations (Carattoli, 2001
