Genomic epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of

Community-onset bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by carbapenemase-producingWe performed WGS on 79We identified 5 species and 13 STs of ECC.Our study highlighted that MDR ECC clones are important pathogens of BSIs in community. Though of low prevalence, carbapenem resistance observed in our ECC isolates raised concern about further community dissemination, underscoring the need for community surveillance to identify MDR ECC clones with epidemic potential.
