Emergence of an NDM-5-producing clinical Escherichia coli isolate in Egypt

摘要

The first occurrence of New Delhi metallo-@b-lactamase 5 (NDM-5), carried on an IncI1-I@c-type plasmid of >93kb in a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain in Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt, is reported. The strain was isolated from a wound pus swab from a patient diagnosed with a fracture of the right femur. This E. coli strain was found to belong to sequence type (ST) 5018 and also to carry other resistance genes, including bla"C"T"X"-"M"-"1"5, bla"C"M"Y"-"4"2, bla"O"X"A"-"1, and aac(6')-Ib-cr.
