Genomic Background and Phylogeny of <i>cfi</i>A-Positive <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> Strains Resistant to Meropenem-EDTA

Background: <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> shows high antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates and possesses numerous AMR mechanisms. Its carbapenem-resistant strains (metallo-β-lactamase <i>cfi</i>A-positive) appear as an emergent, evolving clade. Methods: This work examines the ge...
