Probable Three-Species In Vivo Transfer of <i>bla</i><sub>NDM-1</sub> in a Single Patient in Greece: Occurrence of NDM-1-Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>, <i>Proteus mirabilis</i>, and <i>Morganella morganii</i>

NDM carbapenemase-encoding genes disseminate commonly among Enterobacterales through transferable plasmids carrying additional resistance determinants. Apart from the intra-species dissemination, the inter-species exchange of plasmids seems to play an additional important role in the spread of <i...
