These results are from the second isolate of blaNDM-1-positive Morganella morganii described in case one.

MICs are based on from frozen broth microdilution panels following the standards of the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute,14 unless otherwise indicated.

MICs are based on the Vitek-2 automated susceptibility testing system (bioMérieux, France).
