Characterization of plasmids carrying blaCTX-M genes among extra-intestinal Escherichia coli clinical isolates in Ethiopia
26 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract CTX-Ms are encoded by blaCTX-M genes and are widely distributed extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). They are the most important antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanism to β-lactam antibiotics in the Enterobacteriaceae. However, the role of transmissible AMR plasmids in the dissemination of blaCTX-M genes has scarcely been studied in Africa where the burden of AMR is high and rapidly spreading. In...
