Abstract excerpt
Eleven genotypically related Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were obtained from 11 patients. All isolates were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins due to the production of SHV-2a extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. Comparison of the outer membrane protein profiles revealed one isolate that lacked porins. This porin-deficient isolate was also resistant to cefoxitin (MIC 128 microg ml(-1)) and moxalactam (MIC...
