Emergence of pan-resistance in KPC-2 carbapenemase-producing<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>in Crete, Greece: a close call

26 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-KP) ST258 has been rapidly expanding and is often associated with serious nosocomial infections. Last-line antibiotics such as colistin and tigecycline often remain the only treatment option. We describe here the evolving genetic background of KPC-KP isolates in Crete, Greece. METHODS: We tested the antibiotic susceptibility of 34 clinical isolates from...
