Genomic Investigation of a Putative Endoscope-Associated Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacter cloacae Outbreak Reveals a Wide Diversity of Circulating Strains and Resistance Mutations.
Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America 20180101 3
A genomic epidemiologic investigation of a putative carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae outbreak revealed few plausible instances of nosocomial transmission, highlighting instead the frequent importation of E. cloacae into our hospital. Searching for genetic determinants of carbapenem resistance demonstrated that most resistance is due to convergent mutations in phylogenetically diverse E. cloacae. ...[more]
