Objectives: isolates from community hospitals in Pretoria, South Africa. Methods: Whole genome sequencing and polymerase chain reaction assays were used to characterize sequence types, resistance genes, and selected mobile genetic elements. Results: ). Conclusion: high-risk clones with multiple carbapenemases in resource-constrained South African hospitals are a great concern due to limited treatment options. These findings call for urgent epidemiologic surveillance and enhanced infection prevention and control measures.
