Abstract
We report the first detection of blaCTX-M-19 in South America, harboured in an Escherichia coli isolate obtained from a urine sample; such an isolate belonged to phylogenetic group A, ST603, and showed a ceftazidimase profile. blaCTX-M-19 was encoded in an approximately 100 kb IncI1/IncF conjugative plasmid, featuring pndAC and hok/sok addiction systems; the β-lactamase gene was flanked upstream by three tandem-like transposons (IS26, IS10 and ISEcp 1), inserted one inside the other, and downstream by IS903.
