Some antimicrobial resistant (AR) Salmonella spp. are detected on the national Spanish monitoring programmes in laying hens (LH) in spite of the few antimicrobials authorized for LH in Spain. Testing of AR on Escherichia coli from LH is not mandatory at European level but it is clear that AR on E. coli should be not lower than that on Salmonella spp., having besides a higher prevalence. Accordingly, E. coli is a good model for testing sources of AR bacteria in commercial LH farms.
