Abstract
Escherichia coli bacteria with extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL) type CTX-M resistance were isolated from water
samples collected close to research stations in Antarctica. The isolates had blaCTX-M-1 and blaCTX-M-15 genotypes and sequence
types (ST) indicative of a human-associated origin. This is the first record of ESBL-producing enterobacteria from
Antarctica.
