[Prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria harboring bla KPC gene in Colombian hospitals].

Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud - 1 Apr 2014

Pacheco Robinson, Osorio Lyda, Correa Adriana M, Villegas María Virginia

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: KPC enzymes are carbapenemases with a great capability to disseminate and to cause epidemics. They are frequently associated with higher mortality rates and prolonged hospital stay. In Colombia, they have been progressively reported since 2007; however, its prevalence in hospitals is not known. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of bla KPC gene in hospitals. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The presence of...
