We report the first outbreak of carbapenem-resistant NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii in Europe, in a French intensive-care unit in January to May 2013. The index patient was transferred from Algeria and led to the infection/colonisation of five additional patients. Concurrently, another imported case from Algeria was identified. The seven isolates were genetically indistinguishable, belonging to ST85. The bla(NDM-1) carbapenemase gene was part of the chromosomally located composite transposon Tn125. This report underscores the growing concern about the spread of NDM-1-producing A. baumannii in Europe.

Unlabelled: Carbapenem-resistant spp. pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to limited treatment options for nosocomial infections. Carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D beta-lactamases are the primary cause for carbapenem resistance, while metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM) and imipenemase (IMP) also contribute.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to characterize carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) isolates from Jiangxi patients using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We subjected 100 clinical CRAB strains isolated from the three local largest teaching hospitals to WGS and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Molecular epidemiology was investigated using multilocus sequence typing, core genome multilocus typing, core genome single-nucleotide polymorphism phylogeny, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on characterizing an NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter seifertii isolate from a patient in South Korea.
- The isolate was found to have the genotype ST1899 and showed resistance to multiple antibiotics, including carbapenems, with a plasmid structure similar to those found in other Acinetobacter species globally.
- Horizontal transfer of a plasmid carrying the bla gene led to carbapenem resistance without negatively affecting the growth of A. seifertii.

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing gram-negative rods, including Acinetobacter species, are a global problem but have rarely been isolated in Japan. To our knowledge, this is the first study to isolate an NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter soli strain, KUH106, in Japan. We analyzed this strain using next-generation sequencing to examine the plasmid carrying NDM-1.
