Outer Membrane Profiles of Clonally Related <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Isolates from Clinical Samples and Activities of Cephalosporins and Carbapenems
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Fifteen isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) isolated during a nosocomial outbreak were studied. The strains belonged to the same clonal type, as shown by pulsed-field gel electrophoretic analysis of chromosomal DNA. All the isolates were resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, aztreonam, gentamicin, and fluoroquinolones and were susceptible to carbapenems,...
