First case of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase in Klebsiella pneumoniae from Ecuador: An update for South America
Openalex
Resumen
This report presents the first evidence of autochthonous circulation of the NDM-1 resistance gene harbored by an IncA/C plasmid isolated from a K. pneumoniae ST147 in Ecuador. Efforts should be implemented to monitor and characterize the spatial and temporal distribution of NDM in Ecuador and other countries of South America.
