First detection of a plasmid located carbapenem resistant blaVIM-1 gene in E. coli isolated from meat products at retail in Belgium in 2015.
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) confer resistance to antibiotics which can be of vital significance to human medication. There have solely been a number of reported circumstances of CPEs within the European meals chain.
