Extensively Drug-Resistant New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase?Encoding Bacteria in the Environment, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2012
Mark A. Toleman , Joachim J. Bugert, and Syed A. Nizam
Abstract
Carriage of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variant 1 (NDM-1) enables drug resistance to move between communities and hospitals. In Bangladesh, we found the blaNDM-1 gene in 62% of environmental waters and in fermentative and nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 101 was most commonly found, reflecting a common global relationship between ST101 and NDM-1.
