Plasmids play a fundamental role in the evolution of bacteria by allowing them to adapt to different environments and acquire, through horizontal transfer, genes that confer resistance to different classes of antibiotics. Using the available in vitro and in silico plasmid typing systems, we analyzed a set of isolates and public genomes of K. variicola to study its plasmid diversity.

- The study aimed to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in Enterobacteriaceae causing hospital infections and to analyze the phylogenetic groups in E. coli isolates.
- Researchers collected 1,084 ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from adult patients across multiple hospitals in Mexico from 2005 to 2012, testing for various ESBL genes.
- Results showed that E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most frequent isolates, with CTX-M-type ESBLs being the most common, especially CTX-M-15, indicating a shift in bacterial species prevalence in hospital settings in Mexico.
