blaCTX-M-27-Encoding Escherichia coli Sequence Type 131 Lineage C1-M27 Clone in Clinical Isolates, Germany

Hiren Ghosh et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2017 Oct.

Abstract

We examined extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing isolates from livestock, humans, companion animals, food, and the environment during 2009-2016 in Germany for the presence of CTX-M-27 allele within Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131. E. coli ST131 C1-M27 was exclusively present in humans; its incidence increased from 0% in 2009 to 45% in 2016.

Keywords: C1-M27; CTX-M-27; ESBL; Escherichia coli; Germany; Japan; ST131; antimicrobial resistance; bacteria; blaCTX-M-27; extended-spectrum β-lactamases.
