The genetic structures involved in the dissemination ofbla CMY-2 carried byProteus mirabilis isolates recovered from different gull species in the South of France were characterized and compared to clinical isolates.bla CMY-2 was identified inP. mirabilis isolates from 27/93 yellow-legged gulls and from 37/65 slender-billed gulls. It was carried by a conjugative SXT/R391-like integrative and conjugative element (ICE) in all avian strains and in 3/7 human strains. Two clinical isolates had the same genetic background as six avian isolates.
