Genomic characterization of a carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter freundii cocarrying blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-1

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022
Citrobacter freundii is an important opportunistic pathogen, and carbapenem-resistant strains pose a significant challenge to public health. Here we report the genetic features of antimicrobial resistance genes of a carbapenem-resistant C. freundii SCLZS47 from hospital sewage by using whole genome sequencing.Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined

An XDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST463 Strain with an IncP-2 Plasmid Containing a Novel Transposon Tn6485f Encoding blaIMP-45 and blaAFM-1 and a Second Plasmid with Two Copies of blaKPC-2

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The increased carbapenem resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa has become a serious health issue worldwide. We reported an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa PA30 isolate which belonged to sequence type ST463 and contained an IncP-2 plasmid

Characterization of a Multidrug-ResistantCitrobacter pasteurii isolate carrying blaKPC-2 from municipal wastewater

Access Microbiology, 2022
A carbapenem-resistant strain, UL-CPE-01, was isolated from a domestic wastewater treatment plant and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing showing resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. Complete genome and bioinformatic analysis of UL-CPE-01 was performed to investigate the nature of its resistance determinants and the strain identified ...

Molecular Analysis of blaKPC-2-Harboring Plasmids: Tn4401a Interplasmid Transposition and Tn4401a-Carrying ColRNAI Plasmid Mobilization from Klebsiella pneumoniae to Citrobacter europaeus and Morganella morganii in a Single Patient

mSphere, 2021
The spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacterales is a public health concern. KPC-encoding blaKPC is predominantly spread by strains of a particular phylogenetic lineage, clonal group 258, but can also be spread by ...

KlcAHS genes are ubiquitous in clinical, blaKPC-2-positive, Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2019
Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged and spread widely throughout the world. The mechanisms involved remain unclear. To provide insight, five plasmids were obtained from carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae clinical isolates. The five sequences were acquired, aligned and analyzed.
