Occurrence of OXA-48 carbapenemase and other β-lactamase genes in ESBL-producing multidrug resistant Escherichia coli from dogs and cats in the United States, 2009-2013

Occurrence of OXA-48 carbapenemase and other β-lactamase genes in ESBL-producing multidrug resistant Escherichia coli from dogs and cats in the United States, 2009-2013

The aim of this study was to explore the occurrence and molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase (pAmpC) and carbapenemases among ESBL-producing multidrug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli from dogs and cats in the United States.Methods:Of...
