We investigated the prevalence and epidemiology of AmpC plasmidic cephalosporinases in Escherichia coli clinical strains resistant to third-generation cephalosporins during a 5-year period at Nantes University Hospital, France (3100 beds). The prevalence and diversity of plasmidic cephalosporinase did not increase during the study period (0.09% of 25 861 E. coli isolates); only CMY-2 producers were detected (and...
