Evolution of VIM-1 producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolates from a hospital outbreak reveals the genetic bases of the loss of the urease-positive identification character

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Outbreaks of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CP Kp ) represent a major threat for hospitals. We molecularly characterized the first outbreak of VIM-1 producing K. pneumoniae in Spain, that raised fears about the spread of this strain or of the plasmid carrying bla VIM-1 . Through in-depth genomic analysis of 18 isolates recovered between October 2005 and September 2007, we sho...
