multidrug-resistant
ATCC BAA-1605 Antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacteria. Survives a wide range 
of environmental conditions for prolonged periods. Causes HAIs such as 
pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infection and wound infection.
2 Campylobacter coli,
fluoroquinolone-resistant
ATCC BAA-370 Gram-negative bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tract of animals. 
Causes inflammation of the intestine and diarrhoea in animals and humans. 
Usually treated with antibiotics, however fluoroquinolone-resistant strain is 
causing serious antibiotic-resistance concern.
3 Enterococcus faecalis,
antibiotic-resistant strain
ATCC 51575 Gram-positive bacteria found in human gastrointestinal tract. Increasing 
resistance to vancomycin detected. Frequently found in re-infected root 
canal treated teeth and are known to survive harsh conditions.
4 Enterococcus faecium,
vancomycin-resistant
ATCC 700221 Antimicrobial-resistant Enterococci variant. Not generally virulent but
resistance to antimicrobial drugs complicates treatment. Causes urinary 
tract infections, bacteremia.
5 Escherichia coli, antibiotic-
resistant strain
ATCC BAA-2469 Gram-negative bacteria found in human gastrointestinal tract expelled 
through fecal matter. Some strains are resistant to a broad spectrum of 
carbapenem and colistin antibiotics (often used as a last resort antibiotic).
6 Haemophilus influenzae,

ATCC 43335 Gram-negative bacteria often found in the upper respiratory system of 
humans. Opportunistic pathogen to have gained resistance to penicillin 
family of antibiotics.

duodenal ulcers and stomach cancer and identified as the main cause of 
gastroduodenal diseases. Resistant to clarithromycin.
8 Klebsiella pneumoniae,

surgical site infections and urinary tract infections. Carbapenem is the ‘last 
line of defence’ against gram-negative bacteria but is increasingly ineffective
against
