To date, no outbreak of carbapenemase-producing bacteria has been reported for Austria. While outbreaks of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae have been increasingly reported, no outbreak caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella oxytoca has been described yet, to the best of our knowledge. We report an outbreak of KPC-producing K. oxytoca. In 5 months, 31 KPC-producing Klebsiella oxytoca strains were isolated from five patients. All patients were admitted to the same medical intensive care unit in Austria.
迄今为止,奥地利尚未报告碳青霉烯酶产生细菌的爆发。虽然产肺炎克雷伯菌碳青霉烯酶 (KPC) 的肺炎克雷伯菌的爆发越来越多,但据我们所知,尚未描述产 KPC 的产酸克雷伯菌引起的爆发。我们报告了一起产 KPC 的产酸克雷伯菌爆发。在 5 个月内,从奥地利同一家医疗重症监护病房的五名患者中分离出 31 株产 KPC 的产酸克雷伯菌。
