Abstract
The use of antimicrobials in layer poultry production for improved production, growth promotion,prophylaxis and treatment purposes has contributed to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in poultry. In Zambia, there is a paucity of information on the prevalence and AMR patterns of Enterococcus species
isolated from laying hens.
