Emergence of Extensively Drug-Resistant ST170 Citrobacter portucalensis with Plasmids pK218-KPC, pK218-NDM, and pK218-SHV from a Tertiary Hospital, China

Emergence of Extensively Drug-Resistant ST170 Citrobacter portucalensis with Plasmids pK218-KPC, pK218-NDM, and pK218-SHV from a Tertiary Hospital, China

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to characterize the molecular mechanism of a clinical carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter portucalensis strain K218, which coproduces KPC and NDM carbapenemases. K218 was isolated from a patient's blood sample in a Chinese tertiary hospital. Carbapenemases w...
