Infection of Diabetes Foot Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Proteus penneri Mediated by a Novel Plasmid Containing bla_NDM.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A strain of Proteus penneri with carbapenem resistance was found in a patient with a diabetic foot infection. We studied drug resistance, genome, and homology of P. penneri to support clinical prevention and treatment of infection caused by carbapenem-resistant P. penneri (CR-PPE).

Methods

The strains were obtained through bacterial culture from purulence. VITEK 2 compact (GN13) and Kirby-Bauer (K-B) disk diffusion methods were used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
