Genome plasticity favours double chromosomal Tn4401b-bla KPC-2 transposon insertion in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST235 clone

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa Sequence Type 235 is a clone that possesses an extraordinary ability to acquire mobile genetic elements and has been associated with the spread of resistance genes, including genes that encode for carbapenemases. Here, we aim to characterize the genetic pla...
