The First NDM Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Isolate in Poland: Evolution of IncFII-Type Plasmids Carrying the <i>bla</i> <sub>NDM-1</sub> Gene
19 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Poland's first Enterobacteriaceae isolate producing the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) was identified in August 2011. Escherichia coli sequence type ST410 NDM-1 was cultured from a critically ill patient who had been transferred directly from the Congo. The blaNDM-1 gene was carried by conjugative IncFII-type plasmid pMC-NDM (87,619 bp), which showed structural similarity to plasmid pGUE-NDM, which was...
