“…The cgMLST analysis [9,10] showed that there were between 13 and 85 out of 629 core genome locus differences among ST16 genomes. KL11 showed 13, 15, 24, and 85 locus differences compared with QS17-0029 (CP024038.1) from Thailand, positive to bla OXA-232 , bla NDM-1 , bla CTX-M-15 , and mcr-1 [11], FDAARGOS_440 (CP023919.1) isolated in Canada positive to bla NDM-1 , bla OXA-232 , and bla CTX-M-15 , UCLAOXA232KP (CP012568) from the USA, positive to bla OXA-232 and bla CTX-M-15 , and AR_0087 (CP029738) identified in the USA, negative for carbapenemase and ESBL genes, respectively. KL29, the ST16 isolated in Italy in 2016, differed for 32 and 43 loci from outbreak strains KL11 and KL8, respectively.…”
