We investigated the genetic backbones of 14 <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-8</sub>-positive <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates recovered from human stool samples and chicken meat. All isolates carried IncI1 plasmids with <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-8</sub> (<i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-8</sub>/IncI1), and most (9/14) belonged to a specific genetic lineage, namely, plasmid sequence type 113 (pST113). The genetic contexts of the nine <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-8</sub>/IncI1 pST113 plasmids were similar, regardless of the source. ...[more]
