Characterization of Transformants Obtained From NDM-1–Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Brazil

Draft genome sequences of three NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae species isolated from Brazil

The emergence of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains producing carbapenemases, such as NDM-1, has become a major public health issue due to a high dissemination capacity and limited treatment options. Here we describe the draft genome of three NDM-1-producing isolates: Providencia rettgeri (CCBH11880), Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. oharae (CCBH10892) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (CCBH1...

Characterization of multiple NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from the same patient.

A male patient was admitted to a community hospital in Ontario, Canada, with an infected sacral ulcer after returning from India, where he was hospitalized. Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (isolated from blood cultures), Enterobacter cloacae, and Providencia stuartii (from urine samples), all positive for bla(NDM-1), were recovered. Comparative NDM-1 plasmid analysis suggests both lateral...

Molecular characterization of NDM-1 producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates in Singapore hospitals.

OBJECTIVE In this study, we molecularly characterized 12 NDM-1 producing clinical Enterobacteriaceae (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae) isolates that were part of a collection of non-carbapenem susceptible isolates obtained during a one-year period. These isolates were obtained from four local general hospitals in Singapore. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
