The isolates harbored the blaCTX-M-15, blaCTX-M-14a, and/or blaCTX-M-1 genes. A new sequence type, ST2229, was detected, and this study also reports, for the first time, ST410 CTX-M-14–producing isolates.engExtended-spectrum β-lactamaseEscherichia coliHemodialysisPortugalHigh prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates among hemodialysis patients in Portugal - appearance of ST410 with the blaCTX-M-14 genejournal article
