Molecular Characterization of Carbapenem-Resistant NDM-Producing Escherichia Coli from Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Patients

The antibiotic resistance mechanisms of NDM-positive CRECO are the coexistence of multiple resistance genes and/or the loss of or lesser expression of OMP. The emergence of mcr-1 gene in CRECO should be paid more attention by clinicians and microbiologists. Further surveillance should be strengthened to study the microbiological characteristics in order to control infection caused by NDM-positive CRECO better.
