Abstract: The plasmid pCD-METRO confers metronidazole resistance in Clostridioides difficile. We showed high sequence similarity among pCD-METRO plasmids from different isolates and identified pCD-METRO and associated metronidazole-resistant isolates in clinical and veterinary reservoirs in the Americas.… read more here.
