Detection of bla NDM-4 in Escherichia coli from hospital sewage

Draft Genome Sequence of the First NDM-4-Producing Escherichia coli Strain (AK1), Isolated from Sewage Water of a North Indian Hospital

We report here the draft genome sequence of the first isolated NDM-4-producing Escherichia coli strain, isolated from sewage water at a North Indian hospital. The genome has an assembly size of 5,076,053 bp, arranged in 129 contigs, with 5,271 genes and a G+C content of 50.47%.

NDM-1-producing Escherichia coli in Germany.

An ST405 NDM-4-producing Escherichia coli isolated from a Danish patient previously hospitalized in Vietnam.

Sir, Recently, a novel New Delhi metallo-b-lactamase (NDM) variant was described by Nordmann et al. This variant, designated NDM-4, differs from NDM-1 by a single amino substitution and an increased carbapenemase activity. NDM-4 was first detected in an Escherichia coli isolated from a urinary sample from a patient previously hospitalized in India. A second finding of the NDM-4 variant was repo...

Indistinguishable NDM-producing Escherichia coli isolated from recreational waters, sewage, and a clinical specimen in Ireland, 2016 to 2017

In this study, New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacteriaceae were identified in Irish recreational waters and sewage. Indistinguishable NDM-producing Escherichia coli by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were isolated from sewage, a fresh water stream and a human source. NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from sewage and seawater in the same area were closely rela...

Detection of Colicin genes by PCR in Escherichia coli isolated from cattle in Shiraz-Iran

A variety of probiotic bacteria have been tested to control animal and foodborne pathogenic bacteria in livestock. The mechanism of inhibition of pathogenic bacteria for several of those probiotic microorganisms is mediated by the production of bacteriocins. Colicins are probably the group of bacteriocins that have been most thoroughly characterized. Colicins are antimicrobial proteins produced...
