Identification and characterization of a novel incompatibility group X3 plasmid carrying <i>bla</i> _NDM-1 in <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> isolates with epidemiological links to multiple geographical areas in China

Abstract excerpt

The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) is one of the most important resistance traits in Enterobacteriaceae. We characterized nine bla NDM-1 producing Enterobacteriaceae recovered from seven patients who have recently travelled or been treated in India (n=1) or mainland China (n=6) during December 2010-May 2012. All the China-linked patients had no links to the Indian subcontinent. The bla NDM-1 carrying...
