Characterization of a Novel Plasmid in <i>Serratia marcescens</i> Harboring <i>bla</i> <sub>GES-5</sub> Isolated from a Nosocomial Outbreak in Japan
2021-07-28
Abstract excerpt
Serratia marcescens is a nosocomial pathogen with carbapenem resistance, limiting the availability of effective treatment options. In this study, we performed molecular characterization of GES-5 carbapenemase-producing S. marcescens isolated from an outbreak in Japan. Comparative genetic analysis revealed that the bla GES-5 –encoding plasmid p2020-O-9 is a unique plasmid contributing towards carbapenem resistanc...
