Genome and plasmid context of two rmtG-carrying Enterobacter hormaechei isolated from urinary tract infections in Brazil

ConclusionsThis first detection of rmtG in E. hormaechei reinforces the ability to horizontal transfer. Location in complex genetic platforms carried by Tn3 transposons in IncA/C plasmids may facilitate dissemination to other Gram-negative pathogens and further limit the treatment options.
