The mobile resistance gene blaNDM encodes the NDM enzyme which
hydrolyses carbapenems, a class of antibiotics used to treat some of the most
severe bacterial infections. blaNDM is globally
distributed across a variety of
Gram-negative bacteria on multiple plasmids, typically located within a
highly
recombining and transposon-rich genomic region. This is a dataset of
7148 contigs carrying blaNDM resistance gene. These contigs come from
6155 isolates of various bacteria, but mainly Klebsiella and
Escherichia. For more details please refer to Acman et. al: Role of the
mobilome in the global dissemination of the carbapenem resistance gene
