Molecular Epidemiology and Characteristics of CTX-M-55 Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing From Guangzhou, China.

In recent years, the CTX-M-55 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-positive rate has gradually increased in the clinic. To identify the molecular epidemiology and characteristics of -positive isolates, a total of 374 non-repetitive ESBL-producing strains were collected from patients in two hospitals in Guangzhou, and 89 -positive isolates were selected by CTX-M-1-group PCR amplification and confirmed by DNA sequencing. Whole-genome sequencing was used to analyze the resistance phenotype, plasmid types, phylogenetic relationships and genetic environment of the gene.
