Antimicrobial Resistance Distribution in Poultry E. coli Isolates

918 commensal E. coli isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance using the agar disk diffusion method. The dataset was created by Seyda Şahin and uploaded to figshare in April 2026. It records the distribution of resistance patterns across isolates obtained from swab samples collected from different poultry companies.

Use Cases

• Analyze the prevalence of resistance to specific antimicrobial agents (e.g., ampicillin, tetracycline) across different poultry company sources.
• Identify patterns of multi-drug resistance in E. coli isolates based on the disk diffusion test results for each isolate.
• Model the correlation between isolate source (poultry company) and the observed AMR profile distribution.

Strengths

• Contains 918 distinct bacterial isolate records.
• Data is structured in a tabular XLS format suitable for statistical analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Very small dataset size of 13.5 KB, indicating limited scope and feature depth.
• Specific column names and sample data are unavailable, hindering immediate analysis.
• Geographic origin of the poultry companies and specific collection dates are unknown.
