Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relatedness of 57 KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from 5 states in Brazil, during 2006-2009. Pulse-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified 10 pulsotypes. The pulsotype designated as Kp-RJ (Klebsiella pneumoniae-Rio de Janeiro) was the dominant clone found in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. Multilocus sequence typing of...
