Abstract Background CTX-M-55 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are being rapidly disseminated and transmitted in clinical practices around the world. The genetic contexts of the transferable plasmid-mediated bla CTX-M-55 gene in Enterobacteriaceae were detected and characterized in this study. Metho...
