Summary:We report a COVID-19 case with carbapenem resistant bacteremia. Whole genome sequencing identified the presence of , and . To our knowledge, this is the first report of complicating COVID-19 and the detection of in . The presence of in was overlooked previously may related to substantial sequence divergence with the original allele in . Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a challenge to global health in the age of COVID-19 pandemic. Further study and surveillance of underlying mechanisms is needed.
