Deciphering mechanisms of < em > bla < /em > < sub > NDM < /sub > gene transmission between human and animals: a genomics study of bacterial isolates from various sources in China, 2015 to 2017

ConclusionThis study in a Chinese context suggests that cross-species transmission of certain STs of E. coli harbouring bla NDM on mobile elements, may facilitate the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Stringent monitoring of bla NDM-bearing E. coli in ecosystems is important.PMID:37707983 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.37.2200925
