Antibiotic-resistant E coli found in New Jersey
TRENTON — The first case of antibiotic-resistant E coli bacteria in the country has been identified by New Jersey Medical School researchers in an elderly man who had suffered from a severe urinary tract infection, according to a journal article published on Wednesday.Physicians at University Hospital in Newark successfully treated the 76-year-old male patient with "other antimicrobial agents" in 2014.But researchers at the Rutgers University medical school revisited the case this year.

E. coli strain resistant to colistin and carbapenems detected in New Jersey
PerspectiveFor the first time, resistance to both colistin and carbapenems has been detected in a patient in the United States.Researchers in New Jersey who have been analyzing clinical isolates of gram-negative bacteria from a tertiary-care hospital discovered an Escherichia coli isolate that carried both the colistin-resistant mcr-1 and carbapenem-resistant blaNDM-5 genes.The E. coli strain was identified from a urine sample collected in August 2014 — the earliest date so far that the mcr-1 gene has been detected in the U.S.

Researchers Identify Multidrug-Resistant E. coli Bacteria in New Jersey Patient
New Jersey researchers have identified what is believed to be the first strain of Escherichia coli bacteria from a patient in the United States that harbored two mobile genes, making it resistant to both broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotics and colistin, an older antibiotic increasingly used as a last resort for multidrug-resistant infections.Their report was published in mBio, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.The strain of bacteria, isolated in 2014 from a 76-year-old man with a complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) but further analyzed in 2016, was found to carry the genes mcr-1 and blaNDM-5, which confer resistance to colistin and carbapenems, respectively.
