Résumé :
The genetic structures involved in the dissemination of bla CMY-2 carried by Proteus mirabilis isolates recovered from different gull species in the South of France were characterized and compared to clinical isolates. blaCMY-2 was identified in P. mirabilis isolates from 27/93 yellow-legged gulls and 37/65 slender-billed gulls. It was carried by a conjugative SXT/R391-like ICE in all avian strains and in 3/7 human strains. Two clinical isolates had the same genetic background as six avian isolates.
