OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to compare the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolates from faecal samples of workers who often use antibiotics. METHODS A total of 163E coli strains isolated from faecal samples of livestock workers (poultry and swine farm workers) and restaurant workers in the same regions as a control group were analyzed by agar disc diffusion to determine the...

In Cambodia, influenza A(H5N1) virus surveillance at live poultry markets (LPMs) relies on virus isolation from poultry specimens; however, virus is rarely detected by this method. We tested 502 environmental LPM samples: 90 were positive by PCR, 10 by virus isolation. Virus circulation could be better monitored by environmental sampling of LPMs.

influenza Avirus subtype H7N1 antigen to find out its relatedness by means of the HI assay. The H7 antigen reacted with WHO reference antibodies to high titers (HI titer, 320), indicating antigenic similarity with influenza A(H7N9) isolated from China. This revealed the appropriateness of using the H7 virus antigen in the study. All serum samples from the high-risk group and the general populat...
