Genomic analysis of Elizabethkingia species from aquatic environments: Evidence for potential clinical transmission
26 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Elizabethkingia species are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, colonize water systems in healthcare settings and are emerging opportunistic pathogens with reports surfacing in 25 countries across six continents. Elizabethkingia infections are challenging to treat, and case fatality rates are high. Chromosomal blaB, blaGOB and blaCME genes encoding carbapenemases and cephalosporinases are unique to...
