2024-06-08
Abstract excerpt
While conducting genomic surveillance of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPEs) from patient colonisation and clinical infections at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QE), we identified an N-type plasmid lineage, pQEB1, carrying several antibiotic resistance genes including the carbapenemase gene bla KPC-2 . The pQEB1 lineage is concerning due to its conferral of multi-drug resistance, its host ra...
