Colonisations due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a source of antimicrobial resistance transmission in healthcare settings. Eleven Citrobacter freundii strains producing KPC-3 carbapenemase were isolated from rectal swabs during a three-year surveillance programme. In 9/11 strains, blaKPC-3-carrying plasmids were found to belong to the IncX3 group and complete nucleotide sequences were obtained for two of them. Our results highlight the possible role of C. freundii as reservoir of resistance genes.
