Escherichia coli CF349 exhibited a complex beta-lactam resistance phenotype, including resistance to amoxicillin and ticarcillin alone and in combination with clavulanate and to some extended-spectrum cephalosporins. The double-disk synergy test was positive. CF349 harbored an 85-kb conjugative plasmid which encoded a beta-lactamase of pI 5.9. The corresponding bla gene was identified by PCR and sequencing as a...
