with an annealing step of 58 C for 1 min.
Amplicons were visualised by gel electrophoresis. CTX-M-14 DNA
was purified and sequenced using suitable reference sequences
(Accession numbers- blaCTX-M-14a: DQ304479, blaCTX-M-14b:
FJ668792). Bionumerics (Applied Maths, USA) and NCBI applications
were used for sequence annotation
