We report a COVID-19 case with carbapenem resistant Chryseobacterium indologenes bacteremia. Whole genome sequencing identified the presence of bla IND-2 , bla CIA and bla CcrA . To our knowledge, this is the first report of Chryseobacterium indologenes complicating COVID-19 and the detection of bla CcrA in C. indologenes . The presence of bla CcrA in Chryseobacterium was overlooked previously may related to substantial sequence divergence with the original allele in Bacteroides fragilis . Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a challenge to global health in the age of COVID-19 pandemic. Further study and surveillance of underlying mechanisms is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
