High prevalence of bla_CTX-M and bla_SHV among ESBL producing E. coli isolates from beef cattle in China's Sichuan-Chongqing Circle.

ABSTRACT: Enterobacteria that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) are common in our environment and known to cause serious health implications in humans and animals. β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins and monobactams are the most commonly used anti-bacterials in both humans and animals, however, Gram negative bacteria (such as E. coli) that produces extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have the ability to hydrolyze most β-lactams therefore making them resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. Recent extensive researches on the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli reported the existence of ESBL-producing E. coli in humans, companion animals and poultry. Therefore, this experiment
