Besides the importance of Enterobacter cloacae species complex as a nosocomial pathogen, little is known about the frequency of each species/genotype. Here, we describe a strain of E. hormaechei subsp. hormaechei isolated from a bronchial secretion of a patient, in the Intensive Care Unit at the General Hospital of Cumaná, Venezuela, who died due to complications of his infection. The molecular identification was done by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and comparing it to sequences from the GenBank. This strain showed resistance to multiple families of antibiotics (MDR), and the genes blaKPC and blaVIM were detected by PCR. This is the first time E. hormaechei has been identified in Venezuela.
