Highly multidrug-resistant Morganella morganii clinical isolates from Nepal co-producing NDM-type metallo- β-lactamases and the 16S rRNA methylase ArmA.

This study describes the emergence of highly multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of M. morganii from Nepal co-producing NDM-type metallo-β-lactamases, including NDM-1 and NDM-5, and the 16S rRNA methylase ArmA. This is the first report of M. morganii clinical isolates from Nepal co-producing NDM-1/-5 and ArmA. It is important to establish infection control systems and effective treatments against multidrug-resistant M. morganii.
