Combining functional and structural genomics to track antibiotic resistance genes in mobile elements in clinical bacterial strains

2020-10-30

Abstract excerpt

The rise of multi-antibiotics resistant bacteria represents an emergent threat to human health. Here, we investigate antibiotic resistance mechanisms in bacteria of several species isolated from an intensive care unit in Brazil. We used whole-genome analysis to identify antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and plasmids in 35 strains of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including the first genomic description...
