This is the first report of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing isolates of A. baumannii from Tanzania. The genetic context of blaNDM-1 provides further evidence of the importance of ISAba125 in the spread of blaNDM-1 in A. baumannii. Local surveillance should be strengthened to keep clinicians updated on the incidence of these and other multidrug-resistant and difficult-to-treat bacteria.
