Dissemination of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance <i>fosA3</i> among multidrug-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> from livestock and other animals

Abstract

This study demonstrates the emergence of fosA3-mediated fosfomycin resistance among multidrug-resistant E. coli isolates from various animals. IS26 transposon-like structures might be the main vehicles for dissemination of fosA3.
