چکیده
OBJECTIVES To analyse the ongoing epidemiology of KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae after a non-ST258 KPC-3-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreak in a university hospital in Madrid, Spain. METHODS Enterobacterial isolates (one per patient based on bacterial identification and typing patterns) with carbapenem MICs higher than the EUCAST epidemiological cut-off values, a positive modified Hodge test and carbapenem/boronic acid combination disc test results were studied (16 March 2010 to 31 January 2012) and compared with KPC-producing isolates previously described in our institution (September 2009 to February 2010). The bacterial population structure (PFGE and multilocus sequence typing), carbapenemase genes and KPC plasmids were studied. Patients' clinical records were reviewed. RESULTS Twenty-four KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (20 K. pneumoniae, 2 Escherichia coli and 2 Enterobacter cloacae) from 23 patients (13 males, median age 72 years) were studied. Most KPC-producer strains were considered as colonizers. Six K. pneumoniae clones (ST11, ST20, ST384, ST454, ST659 and ST971), two E. coli clones (ST224 and ST357) and one E. cloacae clone were identified. blaKPC-3 was located on IncFIIK plasmids of ∼100 kb (E. coli ST357 and K. pneumoniae ST384, ST454, ST659 and ST971 clones) and on IncN plasmids of ∼40 kb (K. pneumoniae ST11 clone). Non-typeable plasmids of ∼20 kb containing blaKPC-2 were detected in scarcely represented clones (K. pneumoniae ST20, E. coli ST224 and E. cloacae). CONCLUSIONS During the 2 year period following the emergence of non-ST258 KPC-3-producing K. pneumoniae isolates in our institution, the blaKPC-3 and blaKPC-2 genes efficiently penetrated other Enterobacteriaceae lineages. Non-ST258 K. pneumoniae isolates were mostly responsible for the dissemination of KPC enzymes, producing a complex epidemiological picture.

The global emergence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) multilocus sequence type ST258 is widely recognized. Less is known about the molecular and epidemiological details of non-ST258 K. pneumoniae in the setting of an outbreak mediated by an endemic plasmid. We describe the interplay of blaKPC plasmids and K. pneumoniae strains and their relationship to the...

In a 2008-2011 survey, 17,945 patients in 18 hospital units in Europe and Israel were screened for carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, resulting in identification of 124 positive patients. The isolates were dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 258 (ST258) KPC-2 and ST512 KPC-3, mainly from Greece and Italy, respectively, whereas Israel...

The emergence of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) has become a great concern worldwide. In this study, 994 non-duplicate, carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumonia isolates were collected in Taiwan from 2011 to 2013 for detection of the carbapenemase genes, assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility and molecular epidemiology studies. Of these 994 isolates, 183 (18.4%)...
