Analysis of an IncR Plasmid Carrying <i>bla</i> _NDM-1 Linked to an Azithromycin Resistance Region in Enterobacter hormaechei Involved in an Outbreak in Quebec

Abstract

Analyzing the genetic environment of clinically relevant MDR genes can provide information on the way in which such genes are maintained and disseminated. Understanding this phenomenon is of interest for clinicians as it can also provide insight on where these genes might have been sourced, possibly supporting outbreak investigations.
