Abstract
Our report suggests nosocomial transmission of NDM-1-producing E cloacae occurred via health care staff. Improvements in infection control measures, especially pertaining to staff hand hygiene practices and ward staffing, are needed to reduce the spread of highly resistant pathogens, such as NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
