Abstract

Enterobacterales belonging to the genus Enterobacter are well-known human pathogens and blaIMI carrying strains have been described in several countries. From Austria, we report on the first human Enterobacter mori isolate, typically a plant pathogen, which showed an undescribed multilocus sequence type and carried a blaIMI-2 carbapenemase.

Keywords: Austria; carbapenemase.
