A Conjugative IncI1 Plasmid Carrying erm(B) and blaCTX-M-104 That Mediates Resistance to Azithromycin and Cephalosporins
ABSTRACT In this study, an IncI1 plasmid encoding resistance to both cefotaxime and azithromycin was recovered from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain.The azithromycin Ball Bearing resistance was confirmed to be mediated by the erm(B) gene.This plasmid could be readily conjugated to strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella, promoting rapid d
