T1 - Global Incidence of Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli ST131 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2014 VL - 20 IS - 11 SP - 1928 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We characterized Escherichia coli ST131 isolates among 116 carbapenemase-producing strains. Of isolates from 16 countries collected during 2008–2013, 35% belonged to ST131 and were associated with blaKPC, H30 lineage, and virotype C. This study documents worldwide incidents of resistance to “last resort” antimicrobial drugs among a common pathogen in a successful sequence type.
