Abstract: To investigate the epidemiology of CMY-2-producing E.coli from different animals throughout Guangdong province, 1293 isolates from pig, chicken, duck and goose from 2010 to 2011 were recruited in this study. All the isolates were screened for blaCMY-2 gene by PCR and sequenced; the MICs of blaCMY-2-positive isolates to 17 kinds of antimicrobial drugs were tested by agar dilution; conjugation experiments were performed on blaCMY-2 harboring isolates to explore the transferability of blaCMY-2 gene to E.coli C600, and XbaⅠ-PFGE analysis were used to determine the transfer and spread manner of blaCMY-2 among E.coli isolates. The results showed that 27(2.09%)of 1293 isolates carried blaCMY-2,and were present multi-resistant phenotypes, in which the main one was AMP/CHL/TET/FLF/CTF/CTX/CAZ/CTR/GEN/CIP/ENR/NAL/OQX. The blaCMY-2 gene in 14 of 27 isolates transferred successfully to E.coli C600 by plasmids, and most of them co-transferred with blaTEM-1 and/or qnrS1. PFGE profiles showed that 17 different patterns were successfully got, and two from the same place were clonally related as well as another two isolates. CMY-2 encoding gene on a transferability plasmid or carried by other mobile element presumably was the major cause for the epidemiology of CMY-2-producing E.coli among food animals.
