One hundred thirty-fourbla CMY-2 plasmids fromSalmonella andEscherichia coli strains from animals and food in Canada were characterized. Five plasmid groups were identified based on replicon type and restriction profiles. Three groups containedE. coli plasmids only. IncA/C plasmids included most multiresistant plasmids and all those of bovine origin.
