Abstract excerpt
Plasmids implicated in the mobilisation of β-lactamase genes in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and AmpC-producing Salmonella enterica isolates recovered from three Spanish hospitals were characterised. The temporal stability of these plasmids and of the resistance phenotype without antimicrobial pressure was also assessed in the laboratory setting. The resistance determinants and their genetic environments...
