New Delhi metallo-?-lactamase (NDM-1)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: case report and laboratory detection strategies.


ABSTRACT: The spread of antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacteriaceae is a significant clinical threat. We report the first case of an Enterobacteriaceae strain harboring the NDM-1 metallo-?-lactamase in a pediatric patient in the United States. We describe strategies for the detection of this novel resistance mechanism encountered in an isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
