Outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neonatal intensive care unit linked to artificial nails.
BACKGROUND From April to June 2001, an outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections was investigated in our neonatal intensive care unit. METHODS Cultures of the gastrointestinal tracts of patients, the hands of healthcare workers (HCWs), and the environment were performed to detect potential reservoirs for ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. Strain...
متن کاملOutbreak of extended spectrum â lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neonatal unit
An outbreak of extended spectrum â lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBLKp) in a neonatal unit was controlled using simple measures. Normally, the control of such infections can be time consuming and expensive. Seven cases of septicaemia resulted in two deaths. ESBLKp isolates were subtyped by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, and four of the five isolates typed were identical. Contro...

متن کاملPrevalence of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Species in an Intensive Care Unit
Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae are frequently encountered in hospital acquired infection as they are more important in the spread of non enteric infection in hospital. This is due to the antibiotic resistance, transmissibility, and virulence of the organism, which interact among the patients with similar medical problems who undergo similar procedure and receive similar antibiotics. N...
متن کاملExtended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–producing Escherichia coli in Neonatal Care Unit
An outbreak of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in a neonatal care unit began with transmission from a mother to her newborn twins during vaginal delivery. Subsequently, infection spread by healthcare worker contact with other neonates; a healthcare worker also was infected. Knowledge about transmission may improve infection control measures.
