Genomic dissection of endemic carbapenem resistance: metallo-beta-lactamase gene dissemination through clonal, plasmid and integron transfer pathways
2023-03-26
Abstract excerpt
Infections caused by metallo-beta-lactamase-producing organisms (MBLs) are a global health threat. Our understanding of transmission dynamics and how MBLs establish endemicity remains limited. We analysed two decades of bla IMP-4 evolution in a hospital using sequence data from 270 clinical and environmental isolates (including 169 completed genomes) and identified extreme gene promiscuity across 7 Gram-negative...
