Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the genomic features and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant bacteria like Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Mexico using whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics tools.
- Clinical isolates were collected from 28 medical centers, and various genetic resistance and virulence factors were identified in these bacteria, indicating a significant presence of resistance genes across the studied strains.
- The findings highlight the prevalence of multiple resistance genes in the tested bacteria, suggesting urgent attention is needed for managing antibiotic resistance in clinical settings in Mexico.

In this study, we report the carbapenemase-encoding genes and colistin resistance in , , , and in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical isolates included carbapenem-resistant , carbapenem-resistant , carbapenem-resistant , and carbapenem-resistant . Carbapenemase-encoding genes were detected by PCR.

We collected antimicrobial susceptibility data for critical and high-priority microorganisms from blood, urine, respiratory samples, and from all specimens, in which the pathogen may be considered a causative agent. Data were stratified and compared for two periods: 2019 versus 2020 and second semester 2019 (prepandemic) versus the second semester 2020 (pandemic).
