Comparative genomics and antimicrobial resistance profiling of <i>Elizabethkingia</i> isolates reveals nosocomial transmission and <i>in vitro</i> susceptibility to fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole

Abstract excerpt
The Elizabethkingia genus has gained global attention in recent years as a nosocomial pathogen. Elizabethkingia spp. are intrinsically multidrug resistant, primarily infect immunocompromised individuals, and are associated with high mortality (∼20-40%). Although Elizabethkingia infections appear sporadically worldwide, gaps remain in our understanding of transmission, global strain relatedness and patterns of anti...
