Novel insights into genetic characteristics of blaGES-encoding plasmids from hospital sewage

IntroductionThe prevalence of Guiana extended-spectrum (GES)-type carbapenemase producers is increasing worldwide, and hospital water environments are considered as potential reservoirs. However, the genetic features underlying this resistance are not yet fully understood. This study aimed to charac...
