Carbapenemase VCC-1-Producing Vibrio cholerae in Coastal Waters of Germany
During antimicrobial drug resistance testing for Vibrio spp. from coastal waters of Germany, we identified 4 nontoxigenic, carbapenem-resistant V. cholerae isolates. We used whole-genome sequencing to identify the carbapenemase gene bla(VCC-1). In addition, a molecular survey showed that more bla(VCC-1)-harboring isolates are present in coastal waters of Germany.
