Abstract

We describe a case of carbapenemase-harboring Proteus mirabilis together with detection of NDM-5 in Austria accompanied by other bacterial strains with a wide range of beta-lactamases including OXA-181 and VEB-6. Isolates were obtained from a subphrenic abscess from one patient who was previously treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics in Bangladesh.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
