Co-existence of NDM-, aminoglycoside- and fluoroquinolone-resistant genes in carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates from Pakistan.

To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant genes in carbapenem-resistant (CRECO). A total of 290 carbapenem-resistant bacteria were collected from tertiary care hospitals in Lahore (Pakistan). These isolates were confirmed by VITEK 2 and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight.
