Co-harboring of Novel blaKPC–2 Plasmid and Integrative and Conjugative Element Carrying Tn6203 in Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Many strains of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa have acquired resistance to multiple antibiotics. Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa poses a global healthcare problem due to limited therapeutic options for the treatment of infections. Plasmids and integrative and conjugative elemen...
