We identified New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1)-producing Citrobacter freundii GB032, Escherichia coli GB102, and Acinetobacter baumannii GB661 in urine and stool samples from a single patient in China. Plasmid profiling and Southern blotting indicated that blaNDM-1 from GB032 and that from GB102 were likely located on the same plasmid, while blaNDM-1 from GB661 was located on a very large (>400-kb) plasmid. This case underscores the broad host range of blaNDM-1 and its potential to spread between members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and A. baumannii.

Carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter freundii (CRCF) poses an enormous challenge in the health care setting. However, the epidemiology and plasmid dynamic evolution of this species have not been well studied, especially for the novel high-risk resistant clones in the intensive care units (ICUs). Here, we characterised the cointegration-based plasmid dynamic evolution of the emerging ST107 CRCF clone in China.

Objectives: Earthworms are one of the key components of soil, and they play a crucial role in the transformation of various nutrients and pollutants in the soil. The purpose of this study is to characterize the NDM-1-producing C. freundii isolated from soil-dwelling earthworms near a hospital, exploring their potential role as carriers of carbapenem-resistant genes.

Olive ridley () turtles migrate across tropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Worryingly, olive ridley populations have been declining substantially and is now considered a threatened species. In this regard, habitat degradation, anthropogenic pollution, and infectious diseases have been the most notorious threats for this species.
