The context of antibiotic resistance genes can provide valuable information about the epidemiology of mobile genetic elements. This study examined the distribution of the closely related blaTEM transposons Tn1, Tn2 and Tn3, or blaTEM-containing fragments of them, in ampicillin-resistant human commensal Escherichia coli isolates.
