We report the characterization of six carbapenem-resistant <i>Raoultella spp.</i>(CRRS) in our hospital and a genomic analysis of 58 publicly available isolates. CRRS isolates are sporadically identified around the world and different transposons carrying carbapenemases were the resistant mechanisms. Mobile genetic elements play an important role in acquiring antibiotic resistant genes from the hospital. An improved understanding of these transposon and targeted control measures will be very val ...[more]
