The Use of Long-Read Sequencing Technologies in Infection Control: Horizontal Transfer of a blaCTX-M-27 Containing lncFII Plasmid in a Patient Screening Sample
22 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Plasmid transfer is one important mechanism how antimicrobial resistance can spread between different species, contributing to the rise of multidrug resistant bacteria (MDRB) worldwide. Here were present whole genome sequencing (WGS) data of two MDRB isolates, an Escherichia coli and a Klebsiella quasipneumoniae, which were isolated from a single patient. Detailed analysis of long-read sequencing data identified...
