Table 5 Resistome profile of the representative E. hormaechei complex species/subspecies. ResFinder v. 4.6 [44] was used to predict resistance phenotypes and the average and range of antibiotics, as well as antibiotic resistance classes, each species/subspecies is resistant to was recorded. The proportion of strains per species/subspecies resistant to antibiotics in three or more classes, and hence defined as multidrug resistant [45] is reported. Antibacterial biocide and heavy metal resistance proteins were profiled using the BacMet database [46] and the average number and range of orthologue hits are indicated
Species/subspecies | Antibiotics resistant to | Antibiotic classes resistant to | Multidrug resistant | BacMet Hits |
