Genome-wide analysis of urogenital and respiratory multidrug-resistant <i>Haemophilus parainfluenzae</i>

Abstract

The identification of ICEs with up to three resistance-associated transposons suggests that these transferable elements play an important role in the acquisition of multidrug resistance in H. parainfluenzae. Moreover, the presence of polysaccharide capsules in some of these urogenital isolates is a cause for concern.
