Plasmid-mediated novel blaNDM-17 gene encoding a Carbapenemase with enhanced activity in a sequence type 48 Escherichia coli strain [PDF]
, 2017 Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have spread worldwide, leaving very few treatment options available. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) is the main carbapenemase mediating CRE resistance and is of increasing concern.

Nationwide Surveillance of Novel Oxazolidinone Resistance Gene optrA in Enterococcus Isolates in China from 2004 to 2014 [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016 ABSTRACT A total of 2,201 nonduplicate enterococcal isolates collected from 29 hospitals in 23 cities in China between 2004 and 2014 were screened for the oxazolidinone resistance gene optrA ; 45 isolates (2.0%) were optrA positive with 11 OptrA variants identified.
