Linked bla(CTX-M-3)-bla(TEM-1b) genes, as found on the IncI1 plasmid pEK204 prevalent in Belfast, also occur on plasmids belonging to other rep types in Escherichia coli isolated from nursing-home residents in Belfast. We investigated the mechanisms for their joint dissemination among diverse plasmids.
