Abstract: We describe the first detection of a KPC-2- and QnrB-producing Enterobacter cloacae from a patient with cystic fibrosis. The blaKPC-2 and qnrB-1 genes were located in a 79.8-kb plasmid. The presence of blaKPC-2 and qnrB-1 genes was determined by PCR and sequencing. Mobilization of plasmid containing blaKPC2 gene was assayed by conjugation. Keywords: Antimicrobial resistance, blaKPC-2, Cystic fibrosis, Enterobacteriaceae, qnrB-1
