The first case of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Italy was reported in 2009. We performed a study over a period of seven months in 2010 to survey the circulation of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC) ina 1,500-bed university hospital in northern Italy and report the presence and rapid increase of these multidrug-resistant bacteria. The results raise a major concern about these pathogens and demonstrate the urgent need for infection control and antibiotic stewardship programmes.
2009 年，意大利首次报告了产碳青霉烯酶肠杆菌科细菌的病例。我们在 2010 年进行了一项为期七个月的研究，以调查意大利北部一家拥有 1500 张床位的大学医院中肺炎克雷伯菌碳青霉烯酶（KPC）的流行情况，并报告这些多药耐药细菌的存在和快速增加。这些结果引起了对这些病原体的严重关注，并表明迫切需要感染控制和抗生素管理计划。
