Whole-Genome Analysis of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Wastewater
The aim of the present study was to characterize carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in wastewater by whole-genome analysis. Wastewater samples were collected from municipal wastewater treatment plants and hospital wastewater in Japan and in Taiwan. Samples were screened for CPE using selective media, and obtained isolates were sequenced using Illumina technology.
