Chryseobacterium indologenes has recently been identified as an inherently drug-resistant organism, responsible for a wide spectrum of infections, mainly device-associated infections in hospital settings. The presence of carbapenem resistance due to blaNDM-1 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) gene further complicates the matter, leading to widespread dissemination of carbapenem resistance. This study aims to find out the presence of blaNDM-1 gene among C. indologenes strains causing bloodstream infections in a tertiary care hospital.
