Multiple introductions of ESBL resistance genes or resistant bacterial strains with limited horizontal transmission of mobile genetic elements accounts for the increased incidence of ESBL-Ec in this low prevalence area. Future studies should investigate modes of transmission of ESBL-Ec in the Otago region.
