Characterization of a NDM-7 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli ST410 clinical strain isolated from a urinary tract infection in China.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The emergence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli leaves few therapeutic options. Infections due to NDM-7 carbapenemase-producing E. coli are infrequent. In this study, we report the whole-genome sequence of an NDM-7 carbapenemase-producing E. coli belonging to sequence type (ST) 410 isolated from a patient with a urinary tract infection in China. Patients and methods: The NDM-7 producing E. coli strain EC25 was isolated from a urine sample of a male patient hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province of China. Susceptibility assay of antibiotics was performed according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The whole genome of the strain was
