Abstract

In the United States, New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are frequently associated with healthcare encounters. From September 2021 to September 2022, 21 patients with NDM-CRE identified from urine and without healthcare exposure were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Isolates were genetically similar to healthcare-associated strains.
