Abstract

Blood and surveillance cultures from an injured service member from Ukraine grew Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecium, and 3 distinct Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. Isolates were nonsusceptible to most antibiotics and carried an array of antibiotic resistant genes, including carbapenemases (bla<sub>IMP-1</sub>, bla<sub>NDM-1</sub>, bla<sub>OXA-23</sub>, bla<sub>OXA-48</sub>, bla<sub>OXA-72</sub>) and 16S methyltransferases (armA and rmtB4).
