title: Emergence of NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Belgium.
abstract: Five multidrug-resistant nonclonally related Enterobacteriaceae isolates were recovered in Belgium in 2010 from three patients who had been hospitalized in Pakistan, Montenegro, and Serbia/Kosovo. New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) was detected in each of the isolates in addition to several extended-spectrum β-lactamases (CTX-M-15, SHV-12), plasmidic cephalosporinases (CMY-16, CMY-58), rRNA methylases (ArmA, RmtB), and Qnr genes (qnrA6, qnrB1, qnrB2). One patient died from uncontrolled sepsis, while the two others recovered. No secondary cases occurred in any of the hospitals.
