Duration of Colonization With Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing Bacteria at Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals in Chicago, Illinois
Background. High prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae has been reported in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs), in part because of frequent readmissions of colonized patients. Knowledge of the duration of colonization with KPC is essential to identify patients at risk of KPC colonization upon readmission and to make predictions on the effects...
متن کاملClonal replacement of epidemic KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a hospital in China
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent nosocomial pathogen causing difficult-to-treat infections worldwide. The prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-KP) is increasing in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of KPC-KP in a nosocomial outbreak. METHODS Fifty-four KPC-KP isolates were consecutiv...
متن کاملFirst documented outbreak of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Switzerland: infection control measures and clinical management.
We report the epidemiological and clinical features of the first outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) type 2 in Switzerland. The outbreak took place in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) of our tertiary care hospital and affected three severely ill patients. After the implementation of strict infection control measures, no further patients colonis...
متن کامل363Persistence of the Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 258 as the Predominant Clone of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Post-Acute Care Facilities in Israel, 2008-2013
Background. We aimed to study the molecular characteristics and clonal structure of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae(CPE) in post-acute care facilities (PACF’s) in Israel and to analyze the temporal changes that have occurred between 2008 and 2013. Methods. The prevalence of CPE carriage in PACF’s in Israel was determined in two point prevalence national surveys done in 2008 and 2013....
متن کاملThe importance of long-term acute care hospitals in the regional epidemiology of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
BACKGROUND In the United States, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are increasingly detected in clinical infections; however, the colonization burden of these organisms among short-stay and long-term acute care hospitals is unknown. METHODS Short-stay acute care hospitals with adult intensive care units (ICUs) in the city of Chicago were recruited for 2 cr...
