However, systematic phylogeography and genetic characterization of these isolates worldwide are still lacking. Here, through seven years of surveillance of CRMM in a tertiary hospital, we analyzed the genomic characteristics of\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>KPC-2<\/jats:sub>\n              - or\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>NDM-1<\/jats:sub>\n              -positive CRMM isolates. Furthermore, we conducted a global genomic epidemiological study of\n              <jats:italic>Morganella<\/jats:italic>\n              spp. harboring\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub>\n              or\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>NDM<\/jats:sub>\n              using the NCBI database over the past decade. By combining the timeline of isolate collection with the structural analysis of the plasmids, we traced the evolution of the IncL\/M plasmid, which acquired the\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>KPC-2<\/jats:sub>\n              gene. Our findings indicate that horizontal transfer of Tn\n              <jats:italic>6296<\/jats:italic>\n              based on IS\n              <jats:italic>26<\/jats:italic>\n              is crucial for the transmission of\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub>\n              in CRMM isolates. Additionally, the Tn\n              <jats:italic>125<\/jats:italic>\n              transposon appears to have played an important role in early plasmid-mediated dissemination of\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>NDM<\/jats:sub>\n              ; however, it has been surpassed in recent years by other elements, including IS\n              <jats:italic>26<\/jats:italic>\n              and IS\n              <jats:italic>CR<\/jats:italic>\n              . In summary, through phylogeographic analysis of\n              <jats:italic>Morganella<\/jats:italic>\n              spp. globally, we elucidated their spatial\u2013temporal distribution and revealed the evolutionary characteristics of KPC- or NDM-producing CRMM isolates as the predominant \"epidemic\" clone.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Currently, infections attributable to carbapenem-resistant\n              <jats:italic>Morganella morganii<\/jats:italic>\n              (CRMM) isolates harboring\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub>\n              or\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>NDM<\/jats:sub>\n              are on the rise, highlighting the increasing severity of acquired antimicrobial resistance. However, systematic phylogeographic and genetic characterization of these isolates worldwide is still lacking. In this study, we elucidated the spatial\u2013temporal distribution and evolutionary trajectory of\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n              <jats:sub>NDM<\/jats:sub>\n              genes within their core genetic environments. We emphasize the necessity of strengthening surveillance and controlling these organisms in clinical settings to prevent the generation of so-called \"superbug\" isolates.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.02476-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]],"date-time":"2025-03-03T15:53:36Z","timestamp":1741017216000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Carbapenem-resistant\n            <i>Morganella morganii<\/i>\n            carrying\n            <i>bla<\/i>\n            <sub>KPC-2<\/sub>\n            or\n            <i>bla<\/i>\n            <sub>NDM-1<\/sub>\n            in the clinic: one-decade genomic epidemiology analysis"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-2402-190X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiayao","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yueyue","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinru","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Sheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2463-4771","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiaqing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaoxing Central Hospital, The Central Affiliated Hospital, Shaoxing University","place":["Shaoxing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8742-9009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiufang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Imaging, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8838-7814","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.02650-21"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/msystems.00306-24"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jiph.2023.12.013"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ani10112052"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jgar.2023.01.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lanmic.2024.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","unstructured":"CLSI. 2024.
