Abstract
Of 250 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli obtained in Nepal, 38 were carbapenem resistant, with MICs of imipenem or meropenem of ≥4 μg/ml. All 38 isolates harbored the following blaNDMs: blaNDM-1, blaNDM-3, blaNDM-4, blaNDM-5, blaNDM-7, blaNDM-12, and blaNDM-13 Most of these isolates also harbored the 16S rRNA methylase gene(s) armA, rmtB, and/or rmtC.Entities:
