Characterization of genetic determinants of extended-spectrum cephalosporinases (ESCs) in Escherichia coli isolates from Danish and imported poultry meat

The predominant cause of resistance towards cephalosporins in Escherichia coli is production of plasmid-encoded extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC-type b-lactamases, also referred to as extended-spectrum cephalosporinases (ESC). Thegenetic determinants of ESC in Escherichia coli isolates...
