Characterization and Comparative Genomics Analysis of lncFII Multi-Resistance Plasmids Carrying blaCTX–M and Type1 Integrons From Escherichia coli
This research aimed to investigate the presence and transferability of the extended-spectrum β-lactamase resistance genes to identify the genetic context of multi-drug resistant (MDR) loci in two Escherichia coli plasmids from livestock and poultry breeding environment.
