Genomic characterisation and epidemiology of nosocomial Serratia marcescens isolates resistant to ceftazidime and their plasmids mediating rare blaTEM-61

ABSTRACT: Objectives: We determined the whole DNA sequences of plasmids carrying a rare extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene (blaTEM-61) to precisely understand the spread of resistance among nosocomial Serratia marcescens populations. Methods: Twenty non-duplicate ceftazidime-resistant S. marcescens...
