First Detection of High-Level Aminoglycoside-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae Isolates Due to 16S rRNA Methyltransferases with and Without blaNDM in Uruguay
This is the first description of plasmids harboring 16S rRNA methyltransferases in Uruguay. The association and dissemination of diverse antibiotic-resistant genes underpin the health threat they represent, highlighting the lack of available antibiotics effective against multidrug-resistant microorganisms.
