Whole-genome sequencing of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolates in southeast Louisiana reveals persistent genetic clusters spanning multiple locations

Background: We investigated 51 g-negative carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) isolates collected from 22 patients over a five-year period from six health care institutions in the Ochsner Health network in southeast Louisiana. Methods: Short genomic reads were generated using Illumina sequenc...
