Incidence of carbapenem non-susceptible Chromobacterium violaceum harboring bla from clinical-environmental interface.

Purpose: Chromobacterium violaceum is an opportunistic environmental pathogen, which act as a potential source of antimicrobial resistance genes. Acquisition of such genes by non-susceptible organisms, aided by mobile genetic elements possess a serious clinical threat. With the rise and expansion of carbapenem resistance worldwide, the present study investigates two carbapenem non-susceptible Chromobacterium violaceum isolates through whole genome sequencing.
