Six Extensively Drug-Resistant Bacteria in an Injured Soldier, Ukraine.

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_IMP-1, bla_NDM-1, bla_OXA-23, bla_OXA-48, bla_OXA-72) and 16S methyltransferases (armA and rmtB4).
