Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli have been found in healthy individuals in Indonesia and Vietnam. The ISEcp1-bla transposition unit of ESBL-producing bacterial isolates has been considered responsible for the production of CTX-M type ESBL and it is important for the dissemination of bla . This study aimed to characterize the upstream genetic structure (UGS) of E.

Introduction: Because bla is responsible for resistance of bacteria to the third generation cephalosporins, location of bla could be a good indicator for classifying bacterial isolates harboring bla in molecular epidemiology. However, determination of bla location has been difficult when multiple copies of ISEcp1 were found on bacterial genome. We aimed to establish a high-throughput analytical method for upstream genetic structures (UGS) of ISEcp1 to facilitate determination of bla location.
