Genetic Context of Plasmid-Carried bla(CMY-2)-Like Genes in Enterobacteriaceae

Analysis of 15 European clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates showed that differences in the genetic context of bla(CMY-2)-like genes reflected the replicon type, usually IncA/C or IncI1. These bla(CMY-2) loci may originate from the same ISEcp1-mediated mobilization from the Citrobacter freundii chromosome as structures described in earlier studies.
