An ancient family of mobile genomic islands introducing cephalosporinase and carbapenemase genes in Enterobacteriaceae

The exchange of mobile genomic islands (MGIs) between microorganisms is often mediated by phages, which may provide benefits to the phage’s host. The present study started with the identification of Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates with exceptional cephalospo...
