Regional dissemination of NDM-1 producing < em > Enterobacter hormaechei < /em > ST1740, with a subset of strains co-producing VIM-4 or IMP-13, France, 2019 to 2022

ConclusionThis long-term outbreak was caused by a chromosome-encoded NDM-1-producing ST1740 E. hormaechei subsp. hoffmannii clone, which, during its dissemination, acquired plasmids encoding VIM-4 or IMP-13 metallo-β-lactamases. To our knowledge, IMP-13 has not prior been reported in Enterobacterales in France. Epidemiological and environmental investigations should be considered alongside microbiological and molecular ones.PMID:38487887 | PMC:PMC10941310 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.11.2300521
