Abstract excerpt
Objectives: ESBL genes in Escherichia coli are mainly plasmid encoded, although recent studies have also shown chromosomal integration, e.g. in clinical E. coli isolates of ST38. As ESBL-producing E. coli are also found in non-clinical settings, we were interested in determining whether chromosomally integrated ESBL genes occur in ST38 isolates from non-clinical habitats, e.g. wildlife. Methods: Four...
