DOI: 10.1186/s12866-018-1252-2
Abstract: BackgroundAcinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen that is rapidly evolving towards multidrug resistance and is responsible for life-threatening infections. Carbapenems are commonly used to treat A. baumannii infections but the emergence of carbapenemase encoding… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2808.212542
Abstract: Dissemination of carbapenemase-encoding plasmids by horizontal gene transfer in multidrug-resistant bacteria is the major driver of rising carbapenem-resistance, but the conjugative mechanics and evolution of clinically relevant plasmids are not yet clear. We performed whole-genome… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2021.659753
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance represents a major global concern. The rapid spread of opportunistically pathogenic carbapenemase-encoding bacteria (CEB) requires clinicians, researchers, and policy-makers to swiftly find solutions to reduce transmission rates and the associated health burden. Epidemiological… read more here.
