Outbreaks of infection due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), including New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Escherichia coli , have been increasingly reported worldwide, primarily in adults and rarely in children. The goal of this study was to characterize an outbreak of infection caused by NDM-5-producing E. coli in a children's hospital in China.
