Initial description of CTX-M enzymes belonging to different CTX-M groups.

Year Country CTX-M CTX-M group Comment Reference
1986 Japan FEC-1 CTX-M-1 Escherichia coli from the fecal flora of laboratory dogs used for pharmacokinetic studies and previously administered cephem antibiotics Matsumoto et al. (1988)
1989 Germany CTX-M-1 CTX-M-1 Escherichia coli isolate recovered from the ear of a 4-month child suffering from otitis media in Munich. The β-lactamases involved were firstly named as cefotaximases Bauernfeind et al. (1990)
1989 Argentina CTX-M-2 CTX-M-2 Salmonella Thypimurium isolates from hospitalized patients with meningitis, septicemia, or enteritis Bauernfeind et al. (1992)
1989 France MEN-1 CTX-M-1 Escherichia coli isolate in France in an Italian patient. Later sequencing reveals identity with CTX-M-1 Bernard et al. (1992), Barthélémy et al. (1992)
1993 Japan Toho-1 CTX-M-2 Escherichia coli isolate recovered from a 1-year-old female child who developed cystitis. Toho-1 was later renamed as CTX-M-44 Ishii et al. (1995)
1996 Poland CTX-M-3 CTX-M-1 Citrobacter freundii and Escherichia coli isolates recovered in Warsaw in patients with urinary tract infections Gniadkowski et al. (1998)

1998 Poland CTX-M-15 CTX-M-1 A retrospective study showed the presence of Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli before the first description of this enzyme in India. Sequence and plasmid analysis revealed potential evolution from CTX-M-3 Baraniak et al. (2002)
