Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: KPC-type carbapenemases are increasingly prevalent in parts of the USA and Israel and are an emerging concern in South America, Europe and China. We investigated the UK's first two KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. METHODS: The isolates were referred to the UK's national reference laboratory for confirmation of carbapenem resistance. Susceptibilities were determined by agar dilution, and...
