Abstract excerpt
Citrobacter spp. harbouring metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) have been reported from various countries and different sources, but their isolation from clinical specimens remains a rare event in Europe. MBL-harbouring Enterobacteriaceae are considered a major threat in infection control as therapeutic options are often limited to colistin. In this study, whole-genome sequencing was applied to characterise five clinical...
