Identification of New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase 1 in Acinetobacter lwoffii of Food Animal Origin
BACKGROUND To investigate the presence of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes and the genetic environment of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase gene bla(NDM-1) in bacteria of food animal origin. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Gram-negative bacteria with low susceptibility to imipenem (MIC>8 µg/mL) were isolated from swab samples collected from 15 animal farms and one slaughterhouse in eastern Chin...
متن کاملDetection of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (encoded by blaNDM-1) in Acinetobacter schindleri during routine surveillance.
A carbapenem-resistant Alcaligenes faecalis strain was isolated from a surveillance swab of a service member injured in Afghanistan. The isolate was positive for bla(NDM) by real-time PCR. Species identification was reevaluated on three identification systems but was inconclusive. Genome sequencing indicated that the closest relative was Acinetobacter schindleri and that bla(NDM-1) was carried ...
متن کاملEmergence of Acinetobacter pittii Harboring New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Genes in Daejeon, Korea
Carbapenemase production has been reported worldwide in gram-negative bacteria, including Acinetobacter species. We detected carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter pittii in clinical isolates in Daejeon, Korea. Twenty-one ertapenem-resistant A. pittii isolates screened with a disk diffusion method were characterized by using the Epsilon test, four multiplex PCR assays, and a multilocus sequence ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-Producing Escherichia coli Isolate Obtained in Singapore
We report the draft genome sequence of a New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-positive Escherichia coli isolate obtained from a surgical patient. The assembled data indicate the presence of 3 multidrug resistance plasmids, 1 of which shares 100% identity with an NDM-1 plasmid isolated previously from a nearby hospital, suggesting possible local transmission.
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of the First Escherichia coli Strain Carrying NDM-1 Gene in China
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), an acquired class B carbapenemase, is a significant clinical threat due to its extended hydrolysis of β-lactams including carbapenems. In this study, we identified the first confirmed clinical isolate of Escherichia coli BJ01 harboring bla(NDM-1) in China. The isolate is highly resistant to all tested antimicrobials except polymyxin. bla(NDM-1), bla(CTX-...
