Spatiotemporal and genomic analysis of carbapenem resistance elements in Enterobacterales from hospital inpatients and natural water ecosystems of an Irish city

ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a diverse group of often multidrug-resistant organisms. Surveillance and control of infections are complicated due to the inter-species spread of carbapenemase-encoding genes (CEGs) on mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including plasmids and t...
