MICs were determined by broth microdilution. A total of 137 <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> resistant to extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactam antibiotics were screened for the presence of the ESBL genes by PCR. Only two <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> out of 206 strains produced carbapenemases, including strain 11011 that produced enzyme A, and strain 417957 that produced enzyme B. The genes were <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub> and <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>NDM<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub>, respectively. The plasmids containing <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub> were conjugatable, and the plasmids containing carbapenem resistance gene were not conjugatable. Six extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase resistance genes were detected in this research, including <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>TEM<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>SHV<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>OAX<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub>, and <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>NDM<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub>, and the detection rates were 94.89% (130\/137), 92.7% (127\/137), 24.81% (34\/137), 20.43% (28\/137), 0.72% (1\/137), and 0.72% (1\/137), respectively. Two conjugative lncFII multi-resistance plasmids carrying <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>, p11011-fosA and p417957-CTXM, were sequenced and analyzed. Both conjugative plasmids were larger than 100 kb and contained three accessory modules, including MDR region. The MDR region of the two plasmids contained many antibiotic resistance genes, including <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>mph (A)<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>dfrA17<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>aadA5<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>sul1<\/jats:italic>, etc. After transfer, both the transconjugants displayed elevated MICs of the respective antimicrobial agents. A large number of resistance genes clusters in specific regions may contribute to the MDR profile of the strains. The presence of mobile genetic elements at the boundaries can possibly facilitate transfer among <jats:italic>Enterobacteriaceae<\/jats:italic> through inter-replicon gene transfer. Our study provides beta-lactam resistance profile of bacteria, reveals the prevalence of \u03b2-lactamase resistance genes in livestock and poultry breeding environment in Zhejiang Province, and enriches the research on IncFII plasmids containing <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>CTX<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013<\/jats:sub><jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2021.753979","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]],"date-time":"2021-11-16T07:46:45Z","timestamp":1637048805000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Characterization and Comparative Genomics Analysis of lncFII Multi-Resistance Plasmids Carrying blaCTX\u2013M and Type1 Integrons From Escherichia coli"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enbao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinzhi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ze","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuqiao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianzhong","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daofeng","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0166519","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0166519","article-title":"Extended-Spectrum beta (\u03b2)-lactamases and antibiogram in Enterobacteriaceae from clinical and drinking water sources from bahir dar city, Ethiopia.","volume":"11","author":"Abera","year":"2016","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2352","DOI":"10.1038\/s41396-018-0200-3","article-title":"Dissemination and persistence of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistance encoding IncI1-bla(CTXM\u20131) plasmid among Escherichia coli in pigs.","volume":"12","author":"Abraham","year":"2018","journal-title":"ISME J."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0127752","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0127752","article-title":"Multidrug-Resistant and extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in dutch surface water and wastewater.","volume":"10","author":"Blaak","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"R56","DOI":"10.1186\/gb-2012-13-6-r56","article-title":"Toward almost closed genomes with GapFiller.","volume":"13","author":"Boetzer","year":"2012","journal-title":"Genome Biol."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2114","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu170","article-title":"Trimmomatic: a flexible trimmer for Illumina sequence data.","volume":"30","author":"Bolger","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"933","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.14.4.933-951.2001","article-title":"Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in the 21st century: characterization, epidemiology, and detection of this important resistance threat.","volume":"14","author":"Bradford","year":"2001","journal-title":"Clin.
