Abstract

We describe three cases of bloodstream infection caused by colistin-resistant in patients in a tertiary hospital in Italy, between August 2016 and January 2017. Whole genome sequencing detected the gene in three isolated strains belonging to different sequence types (STs). This occurrence of three cases with -positive belonging to different STs in six months suggests a widespread problem in settings where high multidrug resistance is endemic such as in Italy.
