Proteus mirabilis harbouring Carbapenemase NDM-5 and ESBL VEB-6 detected in Austria

Abstract We describe a case of carbapenemase-harbouring Proteus mirabilis together with detection of NDM-5 in Austria accompanied by other bacterial strains with a wide range of beta-lactamases including OXA-181 and VEB-6. Isolates were obtained from a subphrenic abscess from one patient who was previously treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics in Bangladesh.
