Аннотация
Escherichia coli contamination in minced meat poses a significant public health concern and may serve as a reservoir for antimicrobial-resistant strains. This study investigated the presence of E. coli resistant to ciprofloxacin and/or gentamicin in minced meat samples from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Resistant E. coli isolates were identified using MALDI-TOF. A total of 109 samples were analyzed, yielding 97 E. coli isolates (23 from AMC-CIP and 74 from AMC-GEN). Twenty-three isolates carried the ant(2″) gene, ten the ant(3″) gene, and one the blaCTX-M gene. Resistance was observed to gentamicin (6/25), streptomycin (1/25), ceftazidime (1/25), and cefotaxime (4/25). Eleven isolates carried the aggR gene, and another three were identified as biofilm producers. Although phenotypic resistance was low, we detected genetic potential for resistance which, combined with biofilm formation, represents a risk to food safety.
