Evolution and Comparative Genomics of F33:A−:B− Plasmids Carrying blaCTX-M-55 or blaCTX-M-65 in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Animals, Food Products, and Humans in China

Worldwide spread of antibiotic resistance genes among Enterobacteriaceae isolates is of great concern. F33:A−:B− plasmids are important vectors of resistance genes, such as blaCTX-M-55/-65, blaNDM-1, fosA3, and rmtB, among E. coli isolates from various sources in China. We determined and compared th...
