Abstract:In this study we explored the plasmid profile of human extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) isolates, presence of plasmid-encoded ESBL genes of blaCTX-M-2 phylogroup in these isolates, as well as plasmid-mediated transfer of ESBL-producer phenotype. The high prevalence of the 7.7 kb plasmids, encoding CTX-M-5 β-lactamase, as well as sharing restriction profile and pCTXM5-like genetic backbone, was found in ESBL-producing S. Typhimurium isolates. The results indicated th… Show more
