Role of mobile genetic elements in the global dissemination of the carbapenem resistance gene bla NDM

The mobile resistance gene bla encodes the NDM enzyme which hydrolyses carbapenems, a class of antibiotics used to treat some of the most severe bacterial infections. The bla gene is globally distributed across a variety of Gram-negative bacteria on multiple plasmids, typically located within highly...
