Coexistence of seven different carbapenemase producers in a single hospital admission screening confirmed by whole-genome sequencing
War-injured patients from Ukraine may carry different clones of multidrug-resistant pathogens with limited treatment options and diverse resistance genes at risk for dissemination. Infection control measures should include early molecular characterization of isolates for detection of routes of transmission.
