Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The emergence of bla(KPC)-containing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) isolates is attracting significant attention. Outbreaks in the Eastern USA have created serious treatment and infection control problems. A comparative multi-institutional analysis of these strains has not yet been performed. METHODS: We analysed 42 KPC-Kp recovered during 2006-07 from five institutions located in the Eastern USA....
