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...
