Abstract
Objectives: To better understand the source and potential transmission routes of antibiotic-resistant bacteria infecting injured service members in Ukraine.
Methods: Phenotypic and genomic characterizations were performed on 11 Gram-negative pathogens cultured from war wounds at an intermediate evacuation hospital in Dnipro.
Results: The analysis revealed both susceptible and extensively drug-resistant strains present in cultures, including high-risk global clones carrying carbapenemases.
Conclusions: Globally distributed carbapenemase-producing lineages are being acquired early in the medical evacuation process.
