Abstract

A total of 108 meropenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates were obtained from 1,658 rectal swabs collected from 15 unrelated commercial chicken farms in China between 2014 and 2016. These samples yielded 16 Escherichia coli and 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates of diverse sequence types carrying a bla_NDM-5-bearing IncX3 plasmid. K. pneumoniae strain sequence type 709 (ST709) has two bla_NDM-5-carrying plasmids that were transferred together to E.coli.

Keywords: Escherichia coli; IncX3 plasmid; Klebsiella pneumoniae; blaNDM-5.
