A highly epidemic carbapenem-resistant clone of KPC-3-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae emerged in Israel in 2006, causing a nationwide outbreak. This clone was genetically related to outbreak strains from the United States isolated in 2000 but differed in KPC-carrying plasmids. The threat of the global spread of hyperepidemic, extensively drug-resistant bacterial strains should be recognized and confronted.
2006年,以色列出现了一种产KPC-3的肺炎克雷伯菌的高流行性耐碳青霉烯克隆株,引发了全国性的疫情爆发。该克隆株在基因上与2000年在美国分离出的疫情菌株有关,但携带KPC的质粒有所不同。应认识到并应对高流行性、广泛耐药细菌菌株全球传播的威胁。
