A multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolate from an abdominal lesion displayed resistance to all β-lactams tested, including carbapenems, in addition to macrolides, fluoroquinolones, and tetracycline. Sequence analyses demonstrated the presence of blaNDM-5 in addition to at least 13 genes and 6 efflux pumps associated with antibiotic resistance.
