Proposing Kluyvera georgiana as the Origin of the Plasmid-Mediated Resistance Gene fosA4 [PDF]
, 2018 A putative fosA gene in Kluyvera georgiana 14751 showed 99% nucleotide identity with plasmid-encoded fosA4. Due to a single-nucleotide insertion translating to a truncated protein, K. georgiana 14751 fosA does not confer fosfomycin resistance.
