Enterobacteriaceae isolated from patients share antibiotic resistance conferring plasmids recently acquired from those isolated from sinks in the same treatment room
2022-11-02
Abstract excerpt
Identifying how and where pathogens acquire antibiotic resistance is crucial to developing effective strategies to limit its spread. Many bacterial species carry and share plasmids harboring antibiotic resistant genes. Plasmids are mobile genetic elements whose horizontal transmission is difficult to assess through genomic comparison due to assembly issues when using short-read sequencing alone. In this study, we...
