Abstract excerpt
Elizabethkingia genus is an opportunistic life-threatening pathogen with an intrinsic multidrug-resistant phenotype. It is the only known microorganism with multi-chromosome-borne metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes. To determine the diversity and distribution of MBLs BlaBlaB and BlaGOB in this genus, comprehensive bioinformatic screening was applied in 109 available Elizabethkingia genomes. A total of 23 and 32...
