Genetic Relatedness of NDM-Producing Co-Occurring VIM, KPC, and OXA-48 Enzymes from Surveillance Cultures from an Intensive Care Unit.

is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen most commonly associated with nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Routine surveillance cultures for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae have become a common practice for hospital infection prevention. The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic relatedness of carbapenem-resistant carrying gene across multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme.
