Novel multidrug resistance genomic islands and transposon carrying blaVEB-1 identified in mcr-positive Aeromonas strains from raw meat in China

ConclusionsWe report chromosomally located novel MDR genomic islands and transposon that carryblaVEB-1 inmcr-positiveAeromonas strains. These genetic elements may mediate the spread ofblaVEB-1 inAeromonas, and may also evolve by capturing new antimicrobial resistance genes or other mobile genetic elements.
