(2) Methods: The analysis was completed using the diffusimetric method, compliant with CLSI reference standards, and with Vitek-2 (BioM\u00e9rieux, France), on 240 samples. (3) Results: The results were statistically analyzed (by one-way ANOVA) revealing that in four of the ten E. coli strains isolated from animals, 87.5% (p &lt; 0.001) resistance was found. E. coli strains were resistant to cephalexin (100%); seven strains were resistant to cephalothin and ampicillin; six were resistant to cefquinome and cefoperazone; five were resistant to amoxicillin\/clavulanic acid; and four were resistant to ceftiofur. However, E. coli was sensitive to amikacin (100%). The most efficient structures were beta-lactams, amikacin, and imipenem, to which all 47 strains studied (100%) were sensitive, followed by nitrofurantoin, to which 45 strains (95.7%) were sensitive, neomycin, to which 44 strains (93.6%) were sensitive, ceftiofur, to which 43 strains (91.5%) were sensitive, and trimethoprim\/sulfamethoxazole and marbofloxacin, to which 42 strains (89.4%) were sensitive. (4) Conclusions: In wild animal populations, where a human presence is frequently reported, including a constant presence of domestic animals, despite the perceived low risk of emerging resistance to antimicrobials, resistance is likely to develop frequently.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics12040743","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]],"date-time":"2023-04-13T02:29:15Z","timestamp":1681352955000},"page":"743","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Behavior of Some Bacterial Strains Isolated from Fallow Deer Compared to Antimicrobial Substances in Western Romania"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Emil","family":"T\u00eerziu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandrina V.","family":"Bulucea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6057-882X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kalman","family":"Imre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ileana","family":"Nichita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florin","family":"Muselin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugenia","family":"Dumitrescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreea","family":"T\u00eerziu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Farmacy \u201cVictor Babes\u201d, Piata Eftimie Murgu No. 2, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Narcisa G.","family":"Mederle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandru","family":"Moza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iulia M.","family":"Bucur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5420-1516","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Romeo T.","family":"Cristina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Calea Aradului 119, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1179\/2047773215Y.0000000030","article-title":"Antimicrobial Resistance: A Global Multifaceted Phenomenon","volume":"109","author":"Prestinaci","year":"2015","journal-title":"Pathog.
