Genetic context of plasmid-carried blaCMY-2-like genes in Enterobacteriaceae

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2009 Sep;53(9):4002-6. doi: 10.1128/AAC.00753-08. Epub 2009 Jul 13.

Abstract

Analysis of 15 European clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates showed that differences in the genetic context of blaCMY-2-like genes reflected the replicon type, usually IncA/C or IncI1. These blaCMY-2 loci may originate from the same ISEcp1-mediated mobilization from the Citrobacter freundii chromosome as structures described in earlier studies.
