Nested Russian Doll-like Genetic Mobility Drives Rapid Dissemination of the Carbapenem Resistance Gene <i>bla</i> <sub>KPC</sub>

2015-12-02

Abstract excerpt

The recent widespread emergence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a major public health concern, as carbapenems are a therapy of last resort in this family of common bacterial pathogens. Resistance genes can mobilize via various mechanisms including conjugation and transposition, however the importance of this mobility in short-term evolution, such as within nosocomial outbreaks, is currently unkn...
