Increased prevalence of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae in hospital setting due to cross-species transmission of theblaNDM-1 element and clonal spread of progenitor resistant strains

This study investigated the transmission characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) strains collected from a hospital setting in China, in which consistent emergence of CRE strains were observable during the period of May 2013 to February 2014. Among the 45 carbapenem-resistant...
