Whole genome sequence-based molecular characterization of blood isolates of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex from ICU patients in Kolkata, India, during 2017–2022: emergence of phylogenetically heterogeneous Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis

Whole genome sequence-based molecular characterization of blood isolates of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex from ICU patients in Kolkata, India, during 2017–2022: emergence of phylogenetically heterogeneous Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis

ABSTRACTBlood-borne infections caused by the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex (CR-ECC) are major public threats with respect to the challenges encountered during treatment. This study describes the whole genome sequencing-based molecular characteristics of blood isolates (n = 70) of...
