Genomic Characterization of a <i>Proteus</i> sp. Strain of Animal Origin Co-Carrying <i>bla</i><sub>NDM-1</sub> and <i>lnu(G)</i>

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant <i>Proteus</i> represents a serious threat to global public health due to limited antibiotic treatment options. Here, we characterize a <i>Proteus</i> isolate NMG38-2 of swine origin that exhibits extensive drug resistance, including carb...
