The occurrence of heavy metal resistance genes in multiresistant <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> possessing <i>bla</i><sub>NDM-1</sub> or <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-15</sub> genes was examined by PCR and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis with S1 nuclease. Compared with clinical susceptible isolates (10.0% to 30.0%), the <i>pcoA</i>, <i>merA</i>, <i>silC</i>, and <i>arsA</i> genes occurred with higher frequencies in <i>bla</i><sub>NDM-1</sub>-positive (48.8% to 71.8%) and <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-15</sub>-positiv ...[more]
