| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has become worldwide concern. In this study, I sought to clarify the characteristics of the CRE strains prevalent in Southeast Asia and their relevance to epidemiology. In Myanmar, two types of plasmids harboring the NDM gene, one of the most prevalent carbepenemase gene worldwide, were prevalent among obtained CRE isolates. They showed different characters in terms of antimicrobial susceptibility and the efficiency of transfer, apparently supporting their differential spread.
