Harvesting and amplifying gene cassettes confers cross-resistance to critically important antibiotics
2023-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactam are frequent antibiotic choices to treat bloodstream infection, which is commonly fatal and most often caused by bacteria from the family Enterobacterales . Here we show that two gene cassettes located side-by-side in and ancestral integron similar to In 37 have been “harvested” by insertion sequence IS 26 as a transposon that is already globally disseminated among the Ente...
