Abstract
Here, we report two Enterobacter cloacae sequence type 231 isolates coproducing KPC-3 and NDM-1 that have caused lethal infections in a tertiary hospital in China. The blaNDM-1-harboring plasmids carry IncA/C2 and IncR replicons, showing a mosaic plasmid structure, and the blaNDM-1 is harbored on a novel class I integron-like element. blaKPC-3 is located on a Tn3-ΔblaTEM-1-blaKPC-3-ΔTn1722 element, flanked by two 9-bp direct-repeat sequences and harbored on an IncX6 plasmid.
