IMI-Type Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacter cloacae Complex, France and Overseas Regions, 2012-2022

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Jun;30(6):1279-1282. doi: 10.3201/eid3006.231525.

Abstract

We characterized a collection of IMI-like-producing Enterobacter spp. isolates (n = 112) in France. The main clone corresponded to IMI-1-producing sequence type 820 E. cloacae subspecies cloacae that was involved in an outbreak. Clinicians should be aware of potential antimicrobial resistance among these bacteria.
