Abstract excerpt
Dissemination of blaNDM, which is carried on the IncX3 plasmid, among Enterobacterales has been reported worldwide. In particular, blaNDM-5-carrying IncX3 plasmids can spread among several hosts, facilitating their dissemination. Other variants, such as blaNDM-17-, blaNDM-19-, blaNDM-20-, blaNDM-21-, and blaNDM-33-carrying IncX3 plasmids, have also been reported. Here, we characterized, using whole-genome...
