Genomic Surveillance of Ceftriaxone-Resistant Escherichia coli in Western New York Suggests the Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase blaCTX-M-27 Is Emerging on Distinct Plasmids in ST38

Genomic Surveillance of Ceftriaxone-Resistant Escherichia coli in Western New York Suggests the Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase blaCTX-M-27 Is Emerging on Distinct Plasmids in ST38

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae pose significant treatment and infection prevention challenges. Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 associated with the blaCTX-M-15 gene has been the dominant lineage of ESBL-producing E. coli in the US and worldwide. In this stud...
