Genetic characteristics of CTX-M-type extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacteriaceae involved in mastitis cases on Japanese dairy farms, 2007 to 2011.

ABSTRACT: Sixty-five CTX-M-2/15/14 extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 258,888 mastitic milk samples from Japanese dairy farms between 2007 and 2011. CTX-M-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli were the predominant strains isolated. There was no predominant clonal type, and clonal diversity was found even in strains isolated from a single farm.
