AWaterfowl (ducks) and game birds (pheasant and quail).
BAntimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted on all 176 isolates, including the three game bird isolates that were not speciated.
CAZT = azithromycin; CIP = ciprofloxacin; CLI = clindamycin; ERY = erythromycin; FLO = florfenicol; GEN = gentamicin; NAL = nalidixic acid; TEL = telithromycin; TET = tetracycline.
DPercentage of isolates resistant to the antimicrobial. Prevalence estimates were calculated by dividing the number of isolates resistant to an antimicrobial by the total number of isolates tested for the antimicrobial.
ECI = Exact binomial 95% confidence interval for the percentage of isolates resistant to the antimicrobial.
