Zusammenfassung:The worldwide dissemination of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), which mediates resistance to almost all clinical β-lactam antibiotics, is a major public health problem. The global distribution, species, sources, and potential transfer risk of bla -carrying bacteria are unclear. Results of a comprehensive analysis of literature in 2010-2022 showed that a total of 6002 bla carrying bacteria were widely distributed around 62 countries with a high trend in the coastal areas. Opportunistic pathogens or pathogens like Klebsiella sp., Escherichia sp., Acinetobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were the four main species indicating the potential microbial risk. Source analysis showed that 86.45 % of target bacteria were isolated from the source of hospital (e.g., Hospital patients and wastewater) and little from surface water (5.07 %) and farms (3.98 %). A plasmid-encoded bla Acinetobacter sp. with the resistance mechanisms of antibiotic efflux pump, antibiotic target change and antibiotic degradation was isolated from the wastewater of a typical tertiary hospital. Insertion sequences (IS3 and IS30) located in the adjacent 5 kbp of bla -ble gene cluster indicating the transposon-mediated horizontal gene transfer risk. These results showed that the worldwide spread of bla -carrying bacteria and its potential horizontal gene transfer risk deserve good control.
