First Detection of Fosfomycin Resistance Gene <i>fosA3</i> in CTX-M-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates from Healthy Individuals in Japan
3 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
We examined the prevalence and mechanism of fosfomycin resistance in CTX-M-producing Escherichia coli isolates from healthy Japanese individuals. One hundred thirty-eight CTX-M-producing E. coli isolates were subjected to fosfomycin susceptibility testing. The presence of acquired fosfomycin resistance genes such as fosA, fosA3, and fosC2 was explored, and the transmissibility of fosfomycin resistance, replicon...
