Characterization of a Novel Pathogen in Immunocompromised Patients:Elizabethkingia anophelis—Exploring the Scope of Resistance to Contemporary Antimicrobial Agents and β-lactamase Inhibitors

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Elizabethkingia anophelis is an emerging Gram-negative nonlactose fermenter in the health care setting, where it causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients. We aimed to characterize the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and evaluate the utility of contemporary antibiotics with the intent to offer targeted therapy against an uncommonly encountered pathogen....
