The strain belongs to sequence type 273 (ST273), which was found recently and caused an outbreak in Southeast Asia. It has two carbapenemase genes, <i>bla</i><sub>NDM-1</sub> (carried by an ST7 IncN self-transmissible plasmid) and <i>bla</i><sub>IMP-4</sub> (located on a self-transmissible IncHI5 plasmid).
