Abstrakt:	A report from Chalmers University of Technology discusses research findings on the epidemiology of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in western Sweden. The study focuses on plasmids encoding bla CTX-M genes, which contribute to the evolution of ESBL-producing E. coli and the spread of multiresistant bacteria. The researchers used optical DNA mapping to analyze 47 bla CTX-M encoding plasmids from 45 unrelated ESBL-E. coli strains. They identified five groups of similar plasmids, with the most prevalent type encoding bla CTX-M-15. The study emphasizes the importance of local surveillance and epidemiological links in understanding plasmid transmission events. [Extracted from the article]
