Risk factors for acquisition of CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae during an outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit in Norway.
BACKGROUND A CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was responsible for an outbreak in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Stavanger University Hospital, Norway over a 5-month period (November 2008-April 2009). The risk factors for acquiring ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae during the outbreak were examined in this study. METHODS Faecal or rectal c...
متن کاملOutbreak of Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Blood Stream Infections in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well recognized cause of community and hospital acquired neonatal infections in developing countries with case fatality rate varying from 18% to 68% (Saleem et al., 2013). Infants, particularly those with a low gestational age or a low birth weight, are at greater risk for developing nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) due to their prolonged...

315 than where total inhibition zones had formed. The important observation to make is that, outside of the inhibition zone, the inoculated cells multiplied to form visible colonies despite being in the triclosan vapour for up to 72 h at 22°C. This is entirely in accord with zone theory and, of course, everyday experience with diffusion susceptibility tests. It is unlikely therefore that at amb...
متن کاملFaecal carriage of CTX-M-15-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with acute gastroenteritis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Data on extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) produced by Gram-negative bacteria including Klebsiella pneumoniae especially molecular types of ESBL genes from India are limited. The present study was conducted to investigate the carriage and ESBL contents of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae recovered from patients with gastroenteritis in a rural village in southern I...
متن کاملPredominance of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST14 carrying CTX-M-15 causing neonatal sepsis in Tanzania
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae strains expressing ESBLs are a predominant cause of hospital acquired infections. Here we describe the molecular epidemiology of these isolates in a tertiary hospital in Tanzania, as potential pathogens for neonatal infections. METHODS Between April 2009 and March 2010 all Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates with phenotypic expression Extended Spectrum Beta Lactama...
