Abstract

Although patients with history of international hospitalization are often subject to screening for multidrug-resistant organisms, it is unclear whether patients who reside in countries where carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is endemic but have no history of local hospitalization contribute to the transmission of CPE. In this study, NDM-5-producing and OXA-48-producing Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 648, a recently recognized high-risk, multidrug-resistant clone, were detected from two overseas visitors without previous medical exposure.
