Nosocomial infections caused by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing bacteria are prevalent worldwide. However, such diseases caused by NDM-producing Aeromonas caviae had never been reported. Our study aimed to elucidate the genomic characteristics of NDM-1-producing A. caviae isolated from hospital patients.
