Five cases of infection due to colistin-resistant, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae belonging to the international epidemic clone ST258 occurred over a 4-month period. These cases likely represented both emergence of resistance and transmission of resistant organism. The colistin-resistant isolates were able to persist in the absence of selective pressure in vitro.
在 4 个月的时间内,发生了 5 例由产碳青霉烯酶的耐粘菌素肺炎克雷伯菌(国际流行克隆株 ST258)引起的感染病例。这些病例可能既代表了耐药性的出现,也代表了耐药菌的传播。在没有体外选择压力的情况下,耐粘菌素的分离株能够持续存在。
