A Conjugative IncI1 Plasmid Carrying erm(B) and blaCTX-M-104 That Mediates Resistance to Azithromycin and Cephalosporins

ABSTRACT In this study, an IncI1 plasmid encoding resistance to both cefotaxime and azithromycin was recovered from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain. The azithromycin resistance was confirmed to be mediated by the erm(B) gene. This plasmid could be readily conjugated to strains of Escherichia...
