Characterization of FosA13, a novel fosfomycin glutathione transferase identified in a <i>Morganella morganii</i> isolate from poultry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

M. morganii is a species of the genus Morganella in the family Enterobacteriaceae. This species primarily causes infections of postoperative wounds and the urinary tract. Some isolates of M. morganii exhibit resistance to multiple antibiotics due to multidrug resistance traits, complicating clinical treatment; thus, there is a growing need to elucidate the resistance mechanisms of this pathogen.

Methods

A total of 658 bacterial strains were isolated from anal fecal swabs from poultry and livestock and from the surrounding environment in Wenzhou, China, via plate streaking. The full genome sequences of the bacteria were obtained via next-generation sequencing platforms. The standard agar dilution method was employed to determine the mini
