First Record of the Isolation of blaNDM-1-Producing Enterotoxigenic Enterobacter cloacae ssp. cloacae in Baghdad/Iraq.

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a major problem threatening human beings. The genetic determinants that carry resistance genes can be transmitted in several ways in clinical and food environments. Hence, this research study aimed to investigate the presence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (blaNDM-1) produced by enterotoxigenic Enterobacter cloacae in both clinical and food samples.
