The prevalence of carbapenem-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is increasing worldwide. Pakistan is an endemic country for CPE. We studied the genomes of Enterobacterales isolated from the rectal swabs
Bacteria exploit an arsenal of antimicrobial peptides and proteins to compete with each other. Three main competition systems have been described: type six secretion systems (T6SS); contact dependent
Bacterial plasmids are self-replicating, extrachromosomal elements associated with a variety of phenotypic traits including virulence, enhanced fitness, and resistance to antimicrobial agents. They pl
