Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Carbapenem-Heteroresistant <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> Strains

Carbapenem-resistant <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> strains usually emerge by an insertion sequence (IS) jump into the upstream region of the <i>cfiA</i> carbapenemase gene. However, intermediate or fully resistant <i>cfiA</i>-positive strains also exist. These do no...
