New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 among Escherichia coli strains isolated from leukemia patients in Iran: two case reports
Abstract Background Escherichia coli has appeared as an important opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections in patients with immunodeficiency, particularly in leukemia patients. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase is an enzyme originally found in Enterobacteriaceae. Case presentation...

Case presentation In this study, 80 isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected over the course of 2 years from two medical centers in Tehran, Iran. Production of carbapenemase was detected in the isolates using modified Hodge test. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction amplification with specific primers. Two New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1-producing Escherichia coli strains were isolated from two Iranian patients with leukemia.
