Horizontal Plasmid Transfer among <named-content content-type="genus-species">Klebsiella pneumoniae</named-content> Isolates Is the Key Factor for Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases among Children in Tanzania

ABSTRACT Increased knowledge about the role of horizontal gene transfer is key to improve our understanding of the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human populations. We therefore studied the dissemination of the blaCTX-M-15 extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) gene in Klebsiella pneumoni...
