Plasmid diversity of Serratia marcescens and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates involved in two carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae outbreaks in a Swiss hospital

Plasmid diversity of Serratia marcescens and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates involved in two carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae outbreaks in a Swiss hospital

ABSTRACT This study investigates two distinct carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae outbreaks involving patients and contaminated sink traps at the University Hospital of Lausanne. It focuses on the diversity and transmission dynamics of plasmids carrying carbapenemase genes. Between 2022 and 2...
