Clonal Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in a Korean Hospital
In this study, we investigated the molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates that were recovered from an outbreak in a Korean hospital. A new multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for K. pneumoniae based on five housekeeping genes was developed and was evaluated for 43 ESBL-producing isolates from an outbreak as well as 38 s...
متن کاملFirst Outbreak of Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Producing both SHV-12-Type Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase and DHA-1-Type AmpC β-Lactamase at a Korean Hospital
PURPOSE Coexistence of different classes of beta-lactamases in a single bacterial isolate may pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We investigated a spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates co-producing an AmpC beta-lactamase and an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) in a university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over a three-month period, a total of 11 K. pneumoniae isolates, wh...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of SHV-55, an extended-spectrum class A beta-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae.
We biochemically characterized the Klebsiella pneumoniae extended-spectrum SHV-55 enzyme carrying the amino acid substitutions Tyr73Phe (as in SHV-28) and Gly2383Ser and Glu2403Lys (both found in SHV-5) identified in a previous study (5). The SHV-55 extended-spectrum -lactamase differed from SHV-5 only in the signal peptide region (1). The blaSHV-55 gene was obtained as described by Mendonça et...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in Taiwan: recharacterization of shv-27, shv-41, and tem-116.
Klebsiella pneumoniae causing primary liver abscess (PLA) is emerging. This study identified the beta-lactamases genes of K. pneumoniae isolates in Taiwan. The susceptibilities of beta-lactam antibiotics of 30 K. pneumoniae strains associated with primary liver abscess and 30 noninvasive strains were analyzed. The beta-lactamase genes of randomly selected 24 strains from community-acquired infe...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance in Klebsiella spp. Isolates from Companion Animals in Japan: Clonal Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella spp., including resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) and fluoroquinolones, is of great concern in both human and veterinary medicine. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in a total of 103 Klebsiella spp. isolates, consisting of Klebsiella pneumoniae complex (KP, n = 89) and K. oxytoca (...
