Dissemination of blaNDM-5 Driven by Horizontal Transfer of IncFIA Plasmid Between Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Co-Isolated from a Patient’s Ascitic Fluid
Our findings provide direct evidence of potential in vivo interspecies transfer of a multidrug-resistant plasmid, thus enriching our understanding of the mechanisms driving multidrug resistance (MDR) and aiding in the formulation of containment and treatment strategies.
