“…In this paper, we detected only one strain of K. pneumoniae carrying bla NDM-1 in Shandong poultry farms; the other four carbapenem resistance-related genes— bla KPC , bla IMP , bla VIM , and bla OXA48 —were not detected. As of this writing, in livestock and poultry breeding, a handful of articles on CRKP carrying bla KPC , bla IMP , bla VIM , bla OXA48 , and bla NDM have been reported in China and other countries ( Candan and Aksöz, 2015 ; Hamza et al, 2016 ; Köck et al, 2018 ; Zhai et al, 2020 ; Chaalal et al, 2021 ; Ejikeugwu et al, 2021 ; Elmonir et al, 2021 ). For poultry isolates studied in Egypt, 15% (15/100) were resistant to carbapenems: all of them were positive for bla NDM ( Hamza et al, 2016 ).…”
