Abstract
Introduction: Increased incidence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has been reported worldwide. The WHO warns about the imminent risk to global health if the spread of resistant bacteria is not contained.
Materials and methods: Here, single molecule real time sequencing was used to analyse the whole genome and resistome of SKGH01, a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae .
Results and discussions: The data showed that SKGH01 was resistant to all commercially available antibiotics. A complete account of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) CRE at a genomic level and the entire location map of all antibiotic resistance components are here presented. Additionally, this work proposes a model of XDR acquisition in Enterobacteriaceae.
