These results suggest that genotypic diversity might be increasing in Thailand.

Non-duplicated clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae revealing resistance to any carbapenem agents were collected prospectively from three tertiary university hospitals between 2017 and 2018. The presence of carbapenemase genes was detected by multiplex PCR and sequencing for blaKPC, blaVIM, blaNDM, blaIMP, blaOXA, and blaGES. Among the 690 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates, 66.8% (N=461) were CPE. The species distribution of CPE was as follows K. pneumoniae was most common (75.9%), followed by E. coli (15.0%), C. freundii (4.6%), E. cloacae (2.6%), K. aerogenes (0.7%), and K. oxytoca (0.4%). All 11 CPE genes were detected, particularly KPC-2 (87.6%), NDM-1 (7.4%), NDM-5 (1.7%), KPC-3 (1.3%), OXA-232 (1.1%), and OXA-181 (1.1%). Six isolates produced two or three carbapenemases. Most of the carbapenemase-producing C. freundii were positive for NDM-1. We confirmed a high proportion of CPE among CRE with a high prevalence of KCP-2-producing K. pneumoniae and E. coli. We need to institute continuous surveillance to monitor the prevalence of CPE.We report the case of a 76-year-old woman whose infection was rapidly diagnosed as human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) through a peripheral blood smear that showed characteristic intragranulocytic morulae. The smear was prepared on the day of hospitalization, which was 1-2 weeks before results were available from serology or the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). On the basis of the blood smear test, we started timely and approp
