Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance is a "One Health" issue that requires improved knowledge of the presence and abundance of resistant bacteria in the environment. Extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) are critically important antibiotics (CIAs), and resistance to these CIAs is often encoded by beta-lactamase genes borne on conjugative plasmids. We thus decided to characterise 21 plasmids of ESC-resistant Escherichia...
