Description
Summary:We characterized a multidrug-resistant (MDR) spp. isolate highlighting the genetic aspects of the antimicrobial resistance genes. An spp. isolate (Ec61) was recovered in 2014 from a transtracheal aspirate sample from a patient admitted to a Brazilian tertiary hospital and submitted to further microbiological and genomic characterization. Ec61 was identified as subsp. strain ST451, showing an MDR profile and the presence of genes codifying the new β-lactamase variants BKC-2 and ACT-84 and the mobile colistin resistance gene .
