Rare Plasmid-Mediated AmpC Beta-Lactamase DHA-1 Located on Easy Mobilized IS26-Related Genetic Element Detected in Escherichia coli from Livestock and Food in Germany

AmpC beta-lactamases cause resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, including beta-lactamase inhibitors.In Escherichia coli from the German food production chain, the majority of AmpC beta-lactamase activity can be attributed to plasmid-mediated CMY-2 or overproduction of Ice Chippers chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamase, but occasionally other en
