In 2016, we identified a new class A carbapenemase, VCC-1, in a nontoxigenicVibrio cholerae strain that had been isolated from retail shrimp imported into Canada for human consumption. Shortly thereafter, seven additional VCC-1-producingV. cholerae isolates were recovered along the German coastline.
