Sir,

The situation regarding antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from food-producing animals in Norway is, in an international perspective, favourable. The resistance frequencies are moderate and the situation has been stable since the start of the Norwegian monitoring programme in the veterinary sector (NORM-VET) (www.vetinst.no) in the year 2000. We report the first bacterial isolate of animal origin detected in Norway with reduced susceptibility to cephalosporins. The isolate (Escherichia coli 2006-01-1248, hereafter termed E. coli 1248) originated from a broiler domesticated in a cephalosporin-free environment and was included in the NORM-VET 2006 . . .
