Molecular epidemiology and comparative genomics of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from 19 tertiary hospitals in China from 2019 to 2020

Molecular epidemiology and comparative genomics of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from 19 tertiary hospitals in China from 2019 to 2020

BackgroundThe clinical use of carbapenems is facing challenges due to increased carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (CP-EC) infections over the past decade. Meanwhile, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is an important method for bacterial epidemiological research. We aim to provide more gene-based...
