Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of an Enterobacter ludwigii Clinical Isolate Carrying a Plasmid-Mediated blaIMI-6 Gene

ABSTRACT We report a plasmid-encoded IMI-6 carbapenemase in a clinical isolate of Enterobacter ludwigii from Spain. The isolate belongs to ST641 and was susceptible to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and resistant to carbapenems. The modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) test was positive,...
