Abstract excerpt
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a major public-health concern. Here we describe the occurrence of blaVIM-2 in three isolates of Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. steigerwaltii. The blaVIM-2 gene was part of a class II transposon Tn1332 and was embedded in a remnant of a class 1 integron. Tn1332 was carried by a large, conjugative, non-typeable plasmid. The three isolates belonged to sequence type...
