Abstract

ABSTRACT We document the household spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli . One isolate belonged to sequence type 1193 and caused urinary tract infection in a 4-month-old female, and the other isolate belonged to sequence type 131 and colonized three family members, including the index patient. These isolates carried similar Inc-I1-Iγ plasmids, harboring bla CTX-M-15 .
