A new class A beta-lactamase gene bla CAE-1 coexists with bla AFM-1 in a novel untypable plasmid in Comamonas aquatica

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance, especially carbapenem resistance, poses a serious threat to global public health. Here, a carbapenem-resistant Comamonas aquatica isolate SCLZS63 was recovered from hospital sewage. Whole-genome sequencing showed that SCLZS63 has a 4,048,791-bp circular chromosome...
