Global Molecular Epidemiology of IMP-Producing Enterobacteriaceae.

ABSTRACT: International data on the molecular epidemiology of Enterobacteriaceae with IMP carbapenemases are lacking. We performed short-read (Illumina) whole-genome sequencing on a global collection of 38 IMP-producing clinical Enterobacteriaceae (2008 to 2014). IMP-producing Enterobacteriaceae (7 varieties within 11 class 1 integrons) were mainly present in the South Pacific and Asia. Specific bla_IMP-containing integrons (In809 with bla_IMP-4, In722 with bla_IMP-6, and In687 with bla_IMP-14) were circulating among different bacteria in countries such as Australia, Japan, and Thailand. In1312 with bla_IMP-1 was present in Klebsiella pneumoniae from Japan and Citrobacter freundii
