Carriage of CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli isolates among children living in a remote village in Senegal.


ABSTRACT: Two out of 20 children with no known antibiotic exposure, living in a very remote Senegalese village, were found to be fecal carriers of a multiresistant Escherichia coli clone that produced CTX-M-15. This highlights the current massive spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, even in isolated communities.
