We used sequencing and PCR mapping to investigate the regions flanking the bla_CMY-2 ß-lactamase gene carried by plasmids from Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Results revealed genetic heterogeneity in the region downstream from bla_CMY-2 and identified a putative transposable element bearing bla_CMY-2.
