28 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Whole-genome sequence analyses revealed the presence of bla NDM-1 ( n = 31), bla GES-5 ( n = 8), bla OXA-232 ( n = 1), or bla NDM-5 ( n = 1) in extensively drug-resistant and pandrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae organisms isolated from in-patients in 10 private hospitals (2012 to 2013) in Durban, South Africa.
