Spatiotemporal and genomic analysis of carbapenem resistance elements in Enterobacterales from hospital inpatients and natural water ecosystems of an Irish city
27 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a diverse group of often multidrug-resistant organisms. Surveillance and control of infections are complicated due to the inter-species spread of carbapenemase-encoding genes (CEGs) on mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including plasmids and transposons. Due to wastewater discharges, urban water ecosystems represent a known reservoir of CPE. However, the...
