Thirty-nine fosfomycin-resistantEscherichia coli isolates carryingfosA3 were obtained from pigs, chickens, dairy cows, and staff in four northeastern provinces of China between June 2015 and April 2016. ThefosA3 gene was colocated withbla CTX-M genes on conjugative plasmids of the incompatibility groups IncN (n = 12), IncN-F33:A− :B− (n = 2), IncF33:A− :B− (n = 14), IncF14:A− :B− (n = 2), and IncI1/sequence type 136 (ST136) (n = 9). Four different genetic contexts offosA3 were detected among the 39E. coli isolates. Three potential epidemic plasmids circulated amongE. coli strains from this region.
