Abstract
Carbapenem resistance has a widespread globally. In this study, three bacterial strains including Escherichia coli (SXY-EC), Serratia marcescens (SXY-SM), and Klebsiella michiganensis (SXY-KM) were isolated from a pediatric patient in China. Whole-genome sequencing and resistome analysis revealed the appearance of blaNDM-1 β-lactamase gene in all these three strains, and conjugation tests confirmed its transferability. Additionally, SXY-SM and SXY-KM harbored two to three other resistance genes, while SXY-EC carried eleven. Notably, the multidrug resistance region containing blaNDM-1 in plasmid pSXY-EC_NDM1 from SXY-EC was flanked by mobile elements, potentially enabling intermolecular replicative transposition mediated by distinct insertion sequences.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
