Inter-hospital outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing KPC-2 carbapenemase in Ireland

28 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To describe an outbreak of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae with inter-hospital spread and measures taken to control transmission. METHODS: Between January and March 2011, 13 K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from nine patients at hospital A and two patients at hospital B. Meropenem, imipenem and ertapenem MICs were determined by Etest, carbapenemase production was confirmed by the modified...
