Epidemiology of Plasmids in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae with Acquired Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Genes Isolated from Chronic Wounds in Ghana
19 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Little information is available on the local epidemiology of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids harboring acquired beta-lactamase genes in Western African Ghana. In the present study, we screened for plasmids in three Escherichia coli and four Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates expressing extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) mediated by the blaCTX-M-15 gene from chronically infected wounds of Ghanaian...
