Emergence of bla(NDM-7)–Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Gabon, 2016

Reports of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Africa remain rare and assess mostly bla(OXA-48)–producing isolates from Mediterranean countries and South Africa. We identified bla(NDM-7)–producing Enterobacteriaceae in Gabon in 2016. The isolates contained bla(NDM-7) IncX3 plasmids that we...

Sumario:Reports of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Africa remain rare and assess mostly bla(OXA-48)–producing isolates from Mediterranean countries and South Africa. We identified bla(NDM-7)–producing Enterobacteriaceae in Gabon in 2016. The isolates contained bla(NDM-7) IncX3 plasmids that were unusual and similar to the one described in a colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae SZ04 isolate from China.
