Abstract

Chad Escherichia coli carbapenemases clinical samples fecal carriage prevalence
We detected for the first time bla NDM-5 and bla OXA-181 in Escherichia coli isolates from hospitalized patients and healthy volunteers in Chad. These resistance genes were located on IncX3 and IncF plasmids. Despite the large diversity of E. coli clones, the identified resistant intestinal isolates belonged mainly to the same sequence type.
