Abstract
We investigated the genetic characteristics of non-IMP type carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates detected in Japan. The isolates were found to carry diverse plasmids with high sequence similarity to those previously reported in other countries, underscoring the critical imperative for comprehensive nationwide epidemiological surveillance for the silent pandemic of the nightmare pathogen.
