Tracking of antibiotic resistance transfer and rapid plasmid evolution in a hospital setting by Nanopore sequencing
2019-05-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Infection of patients with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria often leave very limited or no treatment options. The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) carrying plasmids between bacterial species by horizontal gene transfer represents an important mode of expansion of ARGs. Here, we evaluated the application of Nanopore sequencing technology in a hospital setting for monitoring th...
