Emergence and mechanism of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli in Henan, China, 2014
The emergence and dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains is a main risk for global public health, but little is known of carbapenemase producing E. coli in Henan, China. The study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence and mechanism of carbapenem-resistant E. coli strains in a hospital in Xinxiang, Henan, China, 2014. A total of 5 carbapenemase-producing E. coli strains were screened from 1014 isolates. We found that they were all resistant to meropenem and imipenem.
