Dissemination of multiple carbapenem resistance genes in an in vitro gut model simulating the human colon
10 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) pose a major global health risk. Mobile genetic elements account for much of the increasing CPE burden. OBJECTIVES: To investigate CPE colonization and the impact of antibiotic exposure on subsequent resistance gene dissemination within the gut microbiota using a model to simulate the human colon. METHODS: Gut models seeded with CPE-negative human...
