Characterization of a New Transposon, Tn6696, on a blaNDM–1-Carrying Plasmid From Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacter cloacae ssp. dissolvens in China

BackgroundEnterobacter cloacae is an opportunistic pathogen which is responsible for serious nosocomial infections. A gene which plays an important role in resistance to carbapenems is the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1). Currently, the spread of NDM-1-producing E. cloacae strains is a serio...
