The multiresistance genecfr was found in two porcineEscherichia coli isolates, one harboring it on the conjugative 33,885-bp plasmid pFSEC-01, the other harboring it in the chromosomal DNA. Sequence analysis of pFSEC-01 revealed that a 6,769-bp fragment containing thecfr gene bracketed by two IS26 elements was inserted into a plasmid closely related to pEA3 from the plant pathogenErwinia amylovora , suggesting that pFSEC-01 may be transferred between different bacterial genera of both animal and plant origin.
