Epidemiology of Plasmids in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> with Acquired Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Genes Isolated from Chronic Wounds in Ghana

Epidemiology of Plasmids in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> with Acquired Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Genes Isolated from Chronic Wounds in Ghana

Little information is available on the local epidemiology of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids harboring acquired beta-lactamase genes in Western African Ghana. In the present study, we screened for plasmids in three <i>Escherichia coli</i> and four <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae&...
