Abstract
CTX-M-15, recently detected in Portugal, is an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) that has spread worldwide ([3][1], [4][2], [9][3], [10][4], [15][5]). The basis for the successful dissemination of bla CTX-M-15 is unknown, although the spread of epidemic Escherichia coli strains and/orThis publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
