Simplex PCR Assay for Detection of blaTEM and gyrA Genes, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern and Plasmid Profile of Salmonella spp. Isolated from Stool and Raw Meat Samples in Niger State, Nigeria

The global evolution of antibiotic resistance has threatened the efficacy of available treatment options with ravaging impacts observed in developing countries. As a result, investigations into the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the role of plasmids are crucial. In this study, we investigated the presence and distribution of blaTEM and gyrA genes, plasmid profiles, and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella strains...
