Occurrence of blaCMY-42 on an IncI1 plasmid in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli from a tertiary referral hospital in India

These finding document blaCMY-42 on IncI1-type plasmids, which are considered to be the main vehicles for the spread of blaCMY-42 in this hospital setting. Thus, a proper strategy should be developed to curb the expansion of IncI1-type plasmids in the hospital and community environment.
