Genetically distinct isolates of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacteriaceae were identified from the clinical cultures of 6 patients. Screening of shared-ward contacts identified 2 additional NDM-positive patients. Phylogenetic analysis proved that 1 contact was a direct transmission while the other was unrelated to the index, suggesting hidden routes of transmission. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;37:987-990.
