“…Genomic DNA of each strain was used as a template in PCR reactions to detect the presence of eight antibiotic resistance genes as previously described. These genes included ampC (Hanson et al, 1999), blaCTX (Moghaddam, Beidokhti, Jamehdar, & Ghahraman, 2014), blaTEM (Bert, Bramger, & Lambert-Zochovsky, 2002), blaZ (Olsen, Christensen, & Aarestrup, 2006), mecA (Duran, Ozer, Duran, Onlen, & Demir, 2012), oxa1 (Onyango, Ndeda, Wandili, Wawire, & Ochieng, 2014), oxa9 (Hanson et al, 1999), and shv (Fang, Ataker, Hedin, & Dornbusch, 2008).…”
