PRO/EDR> Antibiotic resistance – UAE: panresist. K. pneum, mobile chrom. colistin-resist.

-- United Arab EmiratesSummary-------Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose an urgent risk to global human health. CRE that are non-susceptible to all commercially available antibiotics threaten to return us to the pre-antibiotic era. Using single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing we determined the complete genome of a pandrug-resistant _Klebsiella pneumoniae_ isolate, representing the 1st complete genome sequence of CRE resistant to all commercially available antibiotics. The precise Read more [...]
