Genomic landscape of NDM-1 producing multidrug-resistant Providencia stuartii causing burn wound infections in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: The increasing antimicrobial resistance in Providencia stuartii (P. stuartii) worldwide, particularly concerning for immunocompromised and burn patients, has raised concern in Bangladesh, where the significance of this infectious opportunistic pathogen had been previously overlooked, prompting a need for investigation. The two strains of P. stuartii (P. stuartii SHNIBPS63 and P. stuartii SHNIBPS71) isolated from wound swab of two critically injured burn patients were found to be multidrug-resistant and P. stuartii SHNIBPS63 showed resistance to all the 22 antibiotics tested as well as revealed the co-existence of bla_VEB-6 (Class A), bla_NDM-1 (Class B), bla_OXA-10 (Class D) beta lactamase genes. Complete resistance to carbapenems through the production of NDM
