We describe 4 patients infected with NDM-1 Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, and Serratia marcescens from South Africa that co-produced SHV-12, CTX-M-3, and CTX-M-15 and were positive for qnrS, qnrA, aac(6')-Ib-cr, rmtF, rmtC, and armA. Plasmids belonged to IncN, IncA/C replicon types with ccdAB and vagC/D addiction factors. Local and imported cases of NDM-producing bacteria co-exist within South Africa.
