Ongoing multi-country outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei ST1344 carrying blaNDM-5 in the European Union/European Economic Area, March 2025 to April 2026 - www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...
Eurosurveillance | Ongoing multi-country outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei ST1344 carrying bla NDM-5 in the European Union/European Economic Area, March 2025 to April 2026
In seven EU/EEA countries, the emergence of NDM-5-producing Enterobacter hormaechei ST1344 among patients has been detected. In minimum spanning tree analysis of core genome-multilocus sequence-typing (cgMLST) profiles, isolates cluster with ≤ 4 allelic differences. The outbreak includes 57 cases (29 female/28 male; median age: 73 years), which occurred between March 2025 and April 2026. Many were hospitalised (n = 45), some with extensive prior medical treatment, and only three reported travel abroad. A cross-border investigation, including coordinated exposure questionnaires, has not yet identified a source.
