Genomic Analysis of a Highly Virulent NDM-1-Producing Escherichia coli ST162 Infecting a Pygmy Sperm Whale (Kogia breviceps) in South America

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales are rapidly spreading and adapting to different environments beyond hospital settings. During COVID-19 lockdown, a carbapenem-resistant NDM-1-positive Escherichia coli isolate (BA01 strain) was recovered from a pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps), which was f...
