We report the identification of New Delhi metallo-betalactamase 1 (NDM-1)-producing Klebsiella pnemoniae in Ireland. The organism was resistant to multiple antibiotic classes, including carbapenems, and PCR and sequencing confirmed the presence of the blaNDM-1 gene, carried on a 98 kb plasmid. The organism was isolated from an infant, who was born in India and moved to Ireland at the age of four months. This is the first reported isolation of an NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae strain in Ireland.
我们报告了在爱尔兰发现的产新德里金属-β-内酰胺酶 1(NDM-1)的肺炎克雷伯菌。该生物体对多种抗生素类别具有抗性,包括碳青霉烯类,PCR 和测序证实了 blaNDM-1 基因的存在,该基因位于一个 98 kb 的质粒上。该生物体是从一名婴儿身上分离出来的,该婴儿出生于印度,四个月大时移居爱尔兰。这是爱尔兰首次报告分离出产 NDM-1 的肠杆菌科菌株。
