Genomic Characterization of Carbapenem-Non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates From Saudi Arabia Revealed a Global Dissemination of GES-5-Producing ST235 and VIM-2-Producing ST233 Sub-Lineages

Michel Doumith et al.

Summary: Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa is a major clinical problem in Saudi Arabia. This study provides insights into the genetic characteristics and antibiotic resistance mechanisms of these clinical isolates, highlighting the global spread of specific sub-lineages. It emphasizes the importance of routine detection of rare beta-lactamases.

Are Virulence and Antibiotic Resistance Genes Linked? A Comprehensive Analysis of Bacterial Chromosomes and Plasmids

Helena Darmancier et al.

Summary: A comprehensive study found that there is no global correlation between the number and location of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factor genes in bacterial genomes. However, certain categories of these genes do co-occur preferentially, particularly in the mobilome, suggesting that some bacterial pathogens are under selective pressure to be resistant to specific antibiotics, which could jeopardize antimicrobial therapy for human-threatening diseases.
