Emergence and Clonal Spread of CTX-M-65-Producing Escherichia coli From Retail Meat in Portugal.

ABSTRACT: The emergence and dissemination of resistance to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins among Enterobacteriaceae from different sources impose a global public health threat. Here, we characterized by whole-genome sequencing four Escherichia coli strains harboring the bla _CTX-M-65 gene identified among 49 isolates from beef and pork collected at retail. The genomic content was determined using the Center for Genomic Epidemiology web tools. Additionally, the prediction and reconstruction of plasmids were conducted, the genetic platform of the bla _CTX-M-65 genes was investigated, and phylogenetic analysis was carried out using 17 other genomes with the same sequence type and harboring the bla _CTX-M-65 gene. All strains h
