Emergence of blaCTX-M-55 associated with fosA, rmtB and mcr gene variants in Escherichia coli from various animal species in France

Abstract

A large diversity of E. coli clones and plasmid types supported the spread of blaCTX-M-55, together with atypical resistance genes, in various animal species in France. fosA and rmtB genes are emerging among animals in Europe and this issue is of concern for public health.
