Genomic characterization of an extensively drug-resistant high-risk Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST1971 harbouring tmexCD2-toprJ2 from a Vietnamese patient with urinary tract infection.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study characterizes the complete genome of an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa high-risk clone, ST1971, identified for the first time in Vietnam. METHODS: A carbapenem- and colistin-resistant P. aeruginosa strain 71 was isolated from an 86-year-old patient with urinary tract infection at a hospital in Hanoi. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing followed CLSI guidelines. Whole-genome...
