Plasmid pEC_Bactec belongs to the IncI1 group and carries two resistance genes: bla(TEM-1) and bla(CTX-M-15).

On the pEC_B24 backbone, two resistance genes, bla(TEM-1) and bla(CTX-M-15), were found. Six resistance genes, bla(TEM-1), bla(CTX-M-15), bla(OXA-1), aac6'-lb-cr, tetA and catB4, were detected on the pEC_L8 backbone.
