Abstract excerpt
As a cause of community-acquired infections, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli constitute an emerging public-health concern. Few data on the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates from pets are available in China. Detection and characterization of ESBL genes (bla(CTX-M), bla(SHV) and bla(TEM)) was conducted among 240 E. coli isolates recovered from healthy and sick...
