ABSTRACT
A genomic epidemiologic investigation of a putative carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae outbreak revealed few plausible instances of nosocomial transmission, highlighting instead the frequent importation of E. cloacae into our hospital. Searching for genetic determinants of carbapenem resistance demonstrated that most resistance is due to convergent mutations in phylogenetically diverse E. cloacae.
