NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Chinese Hospital, 2014-2015: Identification of NDM-producing Citrobacter werkmanii and Acquisition of blaNDM-1-carrying Plasmid in vivo in a Clinical Escherichia coli Isolate.

In conclusion, a NDM-1-producing isolate of C. werkmanii was identified. An E. coli strain acquired a blaNDM-1-carrying plasmid in vivo. IncX3 and IncA/C plasmids with various sizes might have emerged as the main platforms mediating the spread of the blaNDM genes in China. PMID: 27667823 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
