Proteus mirabilis harboring carbapenemase NDM-5 and ESBL VEB-6 detected in Austria

We describe a case of carbapenemase-harboring Proteus mirabilis together with detection of NDM-5 in Austria accompanied by other bacterial strains with a wide range of beta-lactamases including OXA-181 and VEB-6. Isolates were obtained from a subphrenic abscess from one patient who was previously treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics in Bangladesh.
