Biorisk associated with faecal and airborne antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria from swiftlet houses

Determination and identification of 1000 faecal and 200 airborne bacteria isolates of swiftlet (Aerodramus species) were carried out using conventional biochemical tests, genotypic characterization by (GTG)5- PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. PCR were applied in the molecular detection of various pa...
