Characterization of a Multidrug-Resistant, Novel Bacteroides Genomospecies

Characterization of a Multidrug-Resistant, Novel Bacteroides Genomospecies

Metronidazole- and carbapenem-resistant Bacteroides fragilis are rare in the United States. We isolated a multidrug-resistant anaerobe from the bloodstream and intraabdominal abscesses of a patient who had traveled to India. Whole-genome sequencing identified the organism as a novel Bacteroides geno...
