Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We investigated a KPC-2-producing Enterobacterales (KPC-2 CPE) outbreak in a Korean hospital from July to September 2019, which subsided following enhanced surveillance and strict infection control. The study aimed to elucidate transmission dynamics using epidemiological and genomic methods. METHODS: The study period covered the outbreak and a 9-month post-outbreak observation. Investigations included...
