spp: the emergence of a new genus of healthcare-associated Enterobacterales encoding carbapenemases in Argentina: a case series.

Members of the genus (order ) are isolated from the natural environment and clinical settings. Identification of strains based on biochemical characteristics is complicated due to taxonomic confusion, and they are often misidentified by automated identification systems in laboratories. In this study we describe the first three clinical cases associated with spp. reported in Argentina. We describe the identification, the molecular analysis using whole genome sequencing and the potential clinical relevance.
