Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="clm12128-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Fourteen plasmids carrying <italic>bla</italic>_CTX_‐M‐1,<italic>bla</italic>_SHV_‐12 or <italic>bla</italic>_CMY_‐2 genes from <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> of both avian and human origin were analysed. IncI1 plasmids were largely predominant. Plasmid mutilocus sequence typing and comparative analysis revealed that the <italic>bla</italic>_CMY_‐2‐ST12‐IncI1 plasmids from avian <italic>E. coli</italic> were identical to those previously found in <italic>Salmonella</italic> from humans, but different to those associated with human <italic>E. coli</italic>. The IncI1‐ST3 plasmids carrying <italic>bla</italic>_CTX_‐M‐1 or <italic>bla</italic>_SHV_‐12 were related to those previously identified in avian <italic>E. coli</italic>, but different to those identified in human <italic>E. coli</italic>. Overall, no plasmids shared by <italic>E. coli</italic> of both origin (human/avian) were identified; however, further investigations are needed.</p> </abstract>
