Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 16 isolates of the carbapenemase-producing complex to determine the flanking regions of -type genes. Phylogenetic analysis of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) targets separated the isolates into 4 clusters. The -type genes were all found on Xer-dependent integrative mobile elements (IMEX). The IMEX elements of 5 isolates were similar to those described in Canada, while the remainder were novel. Five isolates had IMEX elements lacking a resolvase and recombinase.
对 16 株产碳青霉烯酶复合体的分离株进行了全基因组测序,以确定 -型基因的侧翼区域。多位点序列分型(MLST)靶标的系统发育分析将分离株分为 4 个聚类。-型基因均位于 Xer 依赖型整合移动元件(IMEX)上。5 株分离株的 IMEX 元件与在加拿大描述的元件相似,其余的则是新的。5 株分离株的 IMEX 元件缺乏内切酶和重组酶。
