Result of bla cefotaxime (CTX)-M gene sequencing analysis. Within the investigated bla-CTX-M gene positive extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL) isolates, CTX-M-15 was the most prevalent (22/25, 88%). However, there was no significant difference among the hospital-acquired (10/22; 45.5%) and community-acquired (12/22; 54.5%) CTX-M-15 ESβL isolates. Cefotaxime-M-3 (2/25, 8%) was detected only in hospital-acquired and CTX-M-123 (1/25, 4%) was detected only in community-acquired ESβL isolates. This figure appears in color at www.ajtmh.org.
