Abstract

Two clonal extensively-resistant S. marcescens were isolated in Peru. The presence and transferability of extended-spectrum β-lactamases and IMP, KPC, NDM, OXA-48 and VIM were determined. The concomitant presence of KPC-2 and NDM-1 was confirmed in both isolates, with KPC-2 being able to be transferred.
