This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of Escherichia coli isolated from ready-to-eat (RTE) food sold in retail food premises in Singapore. In this study, a total of 99 E. coli isolates from poultry-based dishes (n = 77) and fish-based dishes (n = 22), obtained bet...
