Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates producing KPC-3, North Dakota, USA.
Highlights
Three carbapenem-resistant E. cloacae isolates from documented cases of Carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection at the hospital during 2010 were analyzed for comparison
Genetic typing of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae identified from patients at Sanford Health in Fargo, North Dakota, USA
The finding of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-3–producing E. cloacae in North Dakota contrasts with the predominant epidemiology of CRE across the United States
