Molecular Epidemiology of Escherichia coli Producing CTX-M and pAmpC β-Lactamases from Dairy Farms Identifies a Dominant Plasmid Encoding CTX-M-32 but No Evidence for Transmission to Humans in the Same Geographical Region

Abstract excerpt

Third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs) are critically important antibacterials, and 3GC resistance (3GC-R) threatens human health, particularly in the context of opportunistic pathogens such as Escherichia coli . There is some evidence for zoonotic transmission of 3GC-R E. coli through food, but little work has been done examining possible transmission via interaction of people with the local near-farm...
