Identification of a Novel NDM Variant, NDM-13, from a Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Clinical Isolate in Nepal
14 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
A novel New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase, NDM-13, was identified in a carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolate obtained from the urine of a patient in Nepal. The enzymatic activity of NDM-13 against β-lactams was similar to that of NDM-1. However, NDM-13 displayed significantly higher k cat/Km ratios for cefotaxime. The genetic environment of bla NDM-13 was determined to be tnpA-IS30-bla NDM-13-ble...
