Co-infections of two carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter hormaechei clinical strains isolated from the same diabetes individual in China.
Conclusion. This study reveals two multiple drug-resistant E. hormaechei isolates from diabetes patient samples. E. hormaechei carrying two NDM-resistant genes is already a serious threat, where MCR is an important cause of treatment failure in bacterial infections. This study is a reminder not only to prevent infection in patients with diabetes, but also to constantly monitor the epidemic and spread of the drug-resistant gene.
