Clinical characteristics, specific resistance patterns, and molecular mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant <i>Morganella morganii</i> isolates.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Morganella morganii (M. morganii) pose a serious global challenge. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, resistance patterns, and molecular mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant M. morganii.

Methods

A total of 170 M. morganii clinical isolates were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (Wenzhou, China) between January 2016 and December 2017. Carbapenem MICs were determined by antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Carbapenem resistance determinants, including carbapenemase genes (bla _KPC-2, bla _VIM, bla _IMP, bla _NDM, and bla _OXA-48) and extende
