International audience. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) have emerged in the two last decades and are a global threat to public health. These bacteria were then classified as critical priority pathogens by the WHO for research and antibiotic development. In France, monitoring the digestive carriage of CPE is recommended for patients hospitalized in ICUs or returning from endemic areas. This screening allows the hospital staff to take hygiene measures to avoid serious nosocomial outbreaks. Here, we report two concomitant cases of IMI-producing Enterobacter ludwigii colonization at Montpellier University Hospital, France. IMIs are Ambler class A carbapenemases first described in 1993 and relatively uncommon in mainland France. [...]
