Diversity of CTX-M-1-producing E. coli from German food samples and genetic diversity of the blaCTX-M-1 region on IncI1 ST3 plasmids

In livestock blaCTX-M-1 is the most frequently detected ESBL-encoding gene. As transmission to consumers through contaminated food is often proposed, this study characterized ESBL/pAmpC-producing E. coli collected from food samples. The study shows that the dissemination of the CTX-M-1 β-lactamase within food samples of animal origin is driven by the transmission of a ∼100 kb large IncI1 ST3 plasmid.

The study was published in “Veterinary Microbiology”
