Abstract
- This article discusses the detection of the cfr gene in Citrobacter braakii and the characterization of two cfr-carrying plasmids from a chicken farm in Jiangxi, China. The cfr gene is a multidrug resistance gene that has spread globally in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The study identified three cfr-positive strains, including one C. braakii and two E. coli strains, and found that the cfr gene was located on different plasmids in these strains. The article highlights the widespread distribution and rapid dissemination of cfr in animal-derived bacteria and emphasizes the need for monitoring and control of cfr plasmids.
