Abstract: Background/Objectives: Carbapenem resistance poses a significant health threat. This study reports the first detection and characterization of a novel variant of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (blaNDM-60) in Escherichia coli from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), including its genetic context and relationship to global strains. Methods: NDM-60-producing E. coli was isolated from a rectal swab during routine screening. Characterization involved whole-genome sequencing, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and com… Show more
