Integrated chromosomal and plasmid sequence analyses reveal diverse modes of carbapenemase gene spread among Klebsiella pneumoniae
23 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Significance In many clinically important bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes are primarily carried on plasmids. These can spread horizontally between different strains and species. However, current surveillance systems track chromosomal lineages of bacteria only, leading to an incomplete understanding of how resistance spreads, from within an individual hospital to across country borders. We present an...
