Background Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are an emerging source of antibiotic
resistance transfer but their role in the spread of the bla CTX-M-15 gene encoding the most …

Objectives To detect and characterize Escherichia coli strains and pCT-like plasmids
implicated in the dissemination of the CTX-M-14 gene in animals and humans, in England …

Abstract Background Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) are novel vehicles of antibiotic
resistance gene (ARG) transfer in Gram-negative bacteria, but their role in the spread of …

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution and molecular
epidemiology of ESBLs, acquired AmpCs and carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae from …

Objectives To characterize bla CTX-M IncFII plasmids and clones of Escherichia coli from
cats and dogs and to compare them with bla CTX-M IncFII plasmids reported in humans …

In humans and animals, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are widespread
enzymes conferring resistance to broadspectrum cephalosporins. Consumption of ESBL …

Objectives To characterize bla CTX-M-15-carrying plasmids and lineages of nine strains of
Escherichia coli from cattle. Methods Plasmid DNA was analysed using PCR-based replicon …

The aim of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of bla CTX-M-27-producing
Escherichia coli and transmission mechanisms of bla CTX-M-27 from swine farms in China …

Objectives To investigate the diversity of plasmids that carry bla TEM-52 genes among
Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica originating from animals, meat products and …

Abstract Objectives Linked bla CTX-M-3–bla TEM-1b genes, as found on the IncI1 plasmid
pEK204 prevalent in Belfast, also occur on plasmids belonging to other rep types in …
