IncL plasmid-mediated dissemination of OXA-48 beta-lactamase and blaCTX-M-15 gene amplification were identified via long-read sequencing in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) in a tertiary care hospital and to investigate the genetic mechanisms of carbapenem resistance.
