Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae and Nonfermentative Bacteria, the Philippines, 2013–2016

During 2013–2016, we isolated bla(NDM)- and bla(VIM)-harboring Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermentative bacteria from patients in the Philippines. Of 130 carbapenem-resistant isolates tested, 45 were Carba NP–positive; 43 harbored bla(NDM), and 2 harbored bla(VIM). Multidrug-resistant microbial pathog...

Sumario:During 2013–2016, we isolated bla(NDM)- and bla(VIM)-harboring Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermentative bacteria from patients in the Philippines. Of 130 carbapenem-resistant isolates tested, 45 were Carba NP–positive; 43 harbored bla(NDM), and 2 harbored bla(VIM). Multidrug-resistant microbial pathogen surveillance and antimicrobial drug stewardship are needed to prevent further spread of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variants.
