26 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
The increasing prevalence and dissemination of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales represent a serious concern for public health. We studied the genetic features of a multidrug-resistant isolate of high-risk clone ST147 Klebsiella pneumoniae coharboring mcr -1 and bla NDM-1 recovered from a human clinical urine sample in 2017 in Peru. Whole-genome sequencing and conjugation assays identified mcr-1 and bla...
