Genomic characterization of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales from wastewater reveals the convergence of KPC-2 and GES-16 in Brazil

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) pose a significant public health concern due to the limited therapeutic options and increasing dissemination outside clinical settings. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been proposed as relevant environmental reservoirs for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and mobi...

Genomic characterization of CTX-M-15-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST709-KL9 from neonatal bacteraemia in eastern India

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a WHO-designated critical-priority pathogen, is a predominant cause of neonatal bacteraemia in India, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The global emergence and spread of high-risk clones, combined with convergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence traits, underscores th...
