Of 580 cefpodoxime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae received from
participating hospitals across Wales as part of the targeted
surveillance of 3GC-resistance 26 were found to harbour CTX-M
Group 9 enzymes and 19 of these were confirmed for the presence
of blaCTX-M-14 by PCR (18 E. coli, see Table 1, and one Klebsiella
pneumoniae, isolate #2867, absent from Table 1). Remaining CTX-
M group 9 members were found to carry blaCTX-M-27 (n = 1) and
blaCTX-M-9 (n = 6; all collected from the same hospital).
