Multiple NDM-5-Expressing Escherichia Coli Isolates From an Immunocompromised Pediatric Host

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Genes conferring carbapenem resistance have disseminated worldwide among Gram-negative bacteria. Here we present longitudinal changes in clinically obtained Escherichia coli isolates from 1 immunocompromised pediatric patient. This report demonstrates potential for antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids to emerge over time in clinical isolates from patients receiving intensive anticancer...
