Three NDM-5-producing Enterobacteriaceae ( Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Citrobacter braakii , one each) were isolated during a screening study for the presence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) strains in urban rivers in China. The aim of the present study was to characterize these NDM-5-producing isolates by using whole-genome analysis.
