Article Synopsis
- UM869 is a Gram-negative pathogen that is resistant to colistin and is linked to various infections both in hospitals and the community.
- The study explored virulence factors and resistance mechanisms in UM869, discovering it has 65 virulence-related genes and 11 genes contributing to antibiotic resistance.
- Comparative genomic analysis indicated a strong genetic similarity (98.37%) among UM869 and 79 other genomes, with implications for spreading resistance and virulence, primarily in Asian regions, emphasizing the need for better monitoring and treatment strategies.
