A Nosocomial Respiratory Infection Outbreak of Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli ST131 With Multiple Transmissible blaKPC–2 Carrying Plasmids
11 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is well known for its multidrug resistance profile. Carbapenems have been considered the treatment of choice for E. coli ST131 infections and resistance to carbapenems is now emerging due to the acquisition of carbapenemase. 45 carbapenem-resistant E. coli isolates were collected in a hospital. The resistance mechanisms, plasmid profiles and genetic relatedness of these...
