A Novel Trimethoprim Resistance Gene, dfrA36, Characterized from Escherichia coli from Calves

The presence of dfrA36 associated with ISCR2 in Escherichia coli from animals, as well as its presence in other E. coli strains from different sources and countries and in Acinetobacter, highlights the global spread of this gene and its potential for further dissemination. The genetic link of ISCR2-...
