Increasing prevalence and dissemination of NDM-1 metallo- -lactamase in India: data from the SMART study (2009)

Abstract

A range of carbapenemase genes, associated with diverse ESBLs and/or AmpC backgrounds, were found among Enterobacteriaceae isolated during the study. Many of these ertapenem non-susceptible strains were clonally related and carried various combinations of β-lactamases.
