摘要
<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> We characterized NDM-1-producing <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Klebsiella</jats:named-content> isolates from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. PCR was applied for resistance and virulence determinants. The genetic context of <jats:italic>bla</jats:italic> <jats:sub>NDM</jats:sub> was determined by S1 nuclease pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and hybridization. Genotyping was performed by PFGE and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Most isolates carried multiple resistance genes and remained susceptible to amikacin, fosfomycin-trometamol, polymyxin B, and tigecycline. The spread of NDM-1-producing <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Klebsiella pneumoniae</jats:named-content> was not associated with clonal expansion and appears to be associated with Tn <jats:italic>3000</jats:italic> . </jats:p>
