Article Abstract
In November 2010, NDM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (NDMKP) was identified for the first time in South Korea from four patients with no history of traveling abroad who stayed for 21 to 205 days in a tertiary care hospital. All were sequence type (ST) 340 and had nearly identical XbaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns. The bla(NDM-1)-carrying plasmids were in the IncN group, with sizes ranging from 50 to 200 kb. These findings suggest that NDMKP had already been introduced into South Korea before this clustering was found.

Objective: Prolonged detection of multispecies New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-1-producing Enterobacterales was observed in front of a South Korean hospital. This study aimed to investigate the transmission mechanisms of bla and assess the role of environmental reservoirs in its persistence.
Methods: Epidemiological data were collected, and antibiotic susceptibility testing, carbapenemases detection, and whole-genome sequencing were performed on 42 clinical and 13 environmental isolates collected between November 2018 and February 2021, during the pre-outbreak, outbreak (July-September 2019), and post-outbreak periods.
Genomic Characterization of NDM-1 Harboring Extensively-Drug Resistance Isolate From ICU-Admitted Patient With COVID-19.

Currently, carbapenem-resistant (CR-KP) strains, particularly those producing New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM), are increasingly recognized as a significant threat to global health. The present study aimed to conduct a genomic analysis of an NDM-1-producing CR-KP strain isolated from patients with coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The isolate was obtained from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a 68 year-old male patient hospitalized in the ICU with COVID-19 at Besat Hospital in Sanandaj, Iran.

Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the genomes of two rare ST592 isolates and to explore their evolution into carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent (CR-hvKp).
Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using a VITEK 2 compact system. Conjugation experiments were conducted using film matings.
Impact of porin deletions on cefepime-taniborbactam activity against .

We determined the frequency of resistance to cefepime-taniborbactam in NDM-1-producing at <10. Isolated mutants that were less susceptible to cefepime-taniborbactam had an increased copy number of the gene or disruption of major porins OmpK36 and OmpK35. Antibacterial susceptibility testing using isogenic strains indicated that while cefepime penetrates into the periplasm mainly through the major porins, taniborbactam does not have a strong dependence on OmpK35 or OmpK36 for periplasmic accumulation.
