    A carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli strain (DVR22) was recovered from a stool specimen from a patient with traveler's diarrhea who had traveled to India. Molecular screening led to the first identification of NDM-1 in Spain. The blaNDM-1 gene was located in a conjugative plasmid of ca. 300 kb that also contained the blaCTX-M-15, blaTEM-1, ΔblaDHA-1, and armA genes. In addition, blaNDM-1 was preceded by an ISAba125 insertion element only found in Acinetobacter spp.
