Abstract excerpt
Chromosome-encoded beta-lactamases of Shewanella spp. have been indicated as probable progenitors of blaOXA-48-like genes. However, these have been detected in few Shewanella spp. and dissemination mechanisms are unclear. Thus, our main objective was to confirm the role of Shewanella species as progenitors of blaOXA-48-like genes. In silico analysis of Shewanella genomes was performed to detect blaOXA-48-like...
