Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, driven by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases (NDMs), severely restrict treatment options and are increasingly detected outside hospitals. Yet, integrated genomic-phenotypic data on NDM-positive Escherichia coli colonizing the pediatric gut in China remain scarce. Antimicrobial susceptibility and blaNDM conjugation were tested. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) profiled the...
