Abstract excerpt
The Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) comprises multiple species that require genomic analysis for precise identification. They produce inducible AmpC β-lactamase and may carry acquired β-lactamases, which are responsible for cefotaxime and cefepime resistance. To determine the molecular epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, and β-lactam resistance mechanisms of the ECC, we conducted whole-genome sequencing...
