Identification of bla(OXA-51-like), bla(OXA-58), bla(DIM-1), and bla(VIM) Carbapenemase Genes in Hospital Enterobacteriaceae Isolates from Sierra Leone

We describe the results of a molecular epidemiological survey of 15 carbapenemase-encoding genes from a recent collection of clinical isolates from Mercy Hospital in Bo, Sierra Leone. The most salient findings revealed that (i) 60% of the isolates harbored multiple carbapenemase genes; (ii) the bla(...
