Abstract excerpt
The spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) worldwide remains a major threat to public health. Notably, carbapenemase-encoding genes are usually located in plasmids harboring other resistance determinants, and isolates having multiple plasmids are often highly resistant to carbapenems. In this study, we characterized the genetic context of coproduction of KPC-2, VIM-1, and FosA3 via two plasmids...
