Title	Dissemination of GIM-1
Study Type	Other
Abstract	GIM-1 has been identified in different bacterial host species nearly exclusivley in Western Germany. In this study, the regional dissemination of GIM-1-postive Serratia marcescens is investigated. Thirteen S. marcescens strains from 10 patients of 6 different hospitals were genome sequenced and phyl .. [more]ogenetically investigated. The most recent common ancestor of the clonal strain complex was estimated to have emerged in 1993 and might have already haboured the blaGIM-1 at that time. [less]
