Implication of different replicons in the spread of the VIM-1-encoding integron, In110, in Enterobacterales from Czech hospitals

BackgroundVIM metallo-β-lactamases are enzymes characterized by the ability to hydrolyze all β-lactams. Usually, blaVIM-like genes are carried by class 1 integrons. In the Czech Republic, only sporadic cases of VIM-producing Enterobacterales have been reported in which those isolates carried the VIM...
