Genetic characterization and virulence determinants of multidrug-resistant NDM-1-producing Aeromonas caviae.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of carbapenemase significantly threatens public health. It is prevalent worldwide but rare in Aeromonas caviae. Unlike most bacterial species, A. caviae has two distinct flagella systems, which are closely related to biofilm formation. The ability to form biofilms on host tissues or inert surfaces constitutes an important cause of many persistent infections, which causes difficulties in clinical treatment. Here, we report on a multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. caviae carrying bla _NDM-1 with a novel sequence type 1,416. The strong ability of biofilm formation of FAHZZU2447 was verified by a crystal violet assay. The resistome profile and location of the bla _NDM-1 gene were determined by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, S
