Among the 22 strains that produced extended-spectrum beta -lactamase (ESBL), 20 were resistant to aminoglycosides and 12 to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Strains that did not produce ESBL did not express aminoglycoside or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance, although 27 of them were ampicillin resistant. None of the strains were resistant to imipenem or fluoroquinolones. Nineteen strains producing ESBL carried a plasmid of >100 MDa, Seven ESBL-producing strains conjugally transferred their ESBLs and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance. No correlation was found between the resistance patterns and plasmids in non-ESBL-producing strains.en10.1007/PL00011253info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMolecular EpidemiologyBeta-LactamasesUnited-StatesArticle203206209Q3WOS:0001681126000122-s2.0-003503228811347674Q1
