Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to characterize the virulence potential and determine the molecular epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in CTX-M-producing Escherichia coli isolated from piglets with diarrhea in China. A total of 62 E. coli isolates were obtained among which 49 and 13 were collected from diarrheic and healthy piglets, respectively. Cefotaxime resistant strains were screened for...
