Carbapenem-resistant Salmonella Derby harboring a plasmid carrying blaNDM-1 from a clinical case in China
This study reports a clinical isolate of carbapenem-resistant <i>S.</i> Derby, likely resulting from horizontal transfer of a <i>bla</i> <sub>NDM-1</sub> <i>-</i>carrying plasmid, which indicates that carbapenem resistance is extending to less common and low virulence serovars of <i>Salmonella</i>. The emergence of such strains poses a challenge to patient care, especially for immunocompromised populations suffering from invasive infections. Additionally, clonal dissemination of CPSA in certain serotypes warrants heightened vigilance and preventive measures.
