Clinical Microbiology [SP]Sir,
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are a critical public-health problem. The European Survey on Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (EuSCAPE) reported that 19% of carbapenem-non-susceptible Escherichia coli isolates produced carbapenemases [1].
In Spain, an upward trend in carbapenemase-producing E. coli has been observed, mainly due to the dissemination of OXA-48 [2]; however, sporadic occurrence of NDM-producers has been reported [2] ; [3].
The success of high-risk E. coli clones might be due to factors such as increased transmission and colonisation capacity, antibiotic multiresistance and enhanced virulence.
