Update of the molecular epidemiology of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Brazil: spread of clonal complex 11 (ST11, ST437 and ST340).
OBJECTIVES To perform molecular epidemiology for 113 KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in 2010 from 12 Brazilian states. METHODS The resistance profile was determined by disc diffusion and Etest. Genetic polymorphism was analysed by PFGE and multilocus sequence typing. The genetic environment of the bla(KPC) gene was determined by PCR and identification of the carrier plasmid was d...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of a Hospital-Associated Clone of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST340/CC258 Coproducing RmtG and KPC-2 Isolated from a Pediatric Patient
We report here the draft genome sequence of a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 1194/11, belonging to the hospital-associated sequence type 340 (ST340; clonal complex CC258), isolated from a catheter tip culture from a pediatric patient. The multidrug-resistant strain coproduced the 16S rRNA methyltransferase rRNA RmtG and β-lactamases KPC-2 and CTX-M-15.
متن کاملClonal complex 258, the most frequently found multilocus sequence type complex in KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in Brazilian hospitals.
We read with great interest the article by Andrade et al. (1) describing the predominance of sequence type 258 (ST258) among KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Brazilian hospitals. Recently, we conducted a similar study that evaluated the genetic relationship among KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from Brazilian hospitals. A total of 34 KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolate...
متن کاملFirst isolate of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumonaie sequence type 23 from the Americas.
KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates mainly correspond to clonal complex 258 (CC258); however, we describe KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolates belonging to invasive sequence type 23 (ST23). KPC-2 has scarcely been reported to occur in ST23, and this report describes the first isolation of this pathogen in the Americas. Acquisition of resistant markers in virulent clones could mark ...
متن کاملA silent outbreak due to Klebsiella pneumoniae that co-produced NDM-1 and OXA-48 carbapenemases, and infection control measures
Objective(s): Infections due to carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we report a hospital outbreak due to co-producing OXA-48 and NDM-1 K. pneumoniae clone. The aim of the study is to investigate the clonal relationship of strains, risk factors of outbreak and infection control measures.<em...
