Emergence of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Italy

1 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The emergence of KPC-producing K. pneumoniae has now become a global concern. KPC beta-lactamases are plasmid-borne and, like extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs), can accumulate and transfer resistance determinants to other classes of antibiotics. Therefore, infection control guidelines on early identification and control of the spread of organisms carrying these resistant determinants are...
