NDM carbapenemases have spread worldwide. However, little information exists about the impact of NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Spain. By WGS, we sought to elucidate the population structure of NDM-like-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in Spain and to determine the plasmids harbouring blaNDM-like genes.
