Role of the mobilome in the global dissemination of the carbapenem resistance gene <i>bla</i> <sub>NDM</sub>

2021-01-14

Abstract excerpt

The mobile resistance gene bla NDM encodes the NDM enzyme which hydrolyses carbapenems, a class of antibiotics used to treat some of the most severe bacterial infections. bla NDM is globally distributed across a variety of Gram-negative bacteria on multiple plasmids, typically located within a highly recombining and transposon-rich genomic region. This complexity means the dynamics underlying the dissemination o...
