Molecular characterization and clinical significance of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases-1 producing Escherichia coli recovered from a South Indian tertiary care hospital

Context: The increased rate of infection by New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases-1 (NDM1) producing Escherichia coli is a major concern since they show a high rate of drug resistance and are responsible for mortality and morbidity. Aims: To characterize the NDM1 producing E. coli isolates and their imp...
