From September 2010 to December 2011, 26 KPC-3-producing Enterobacter cloacae isolates were identified from 16 patients at a single hospital. Analyses revealed the blaKPC gene to be localized on multiple plasmids in a diverse nonclonal E. cloacae genetic background. These findings highlight the potential complexity of a KPC outbreak at a single hospital.
从 2010 年 9 月至 2011 年 12 月,从一家医院的 16 名患者中分离到 26 株产 KPC-3 的阴沟肠杆菌。分析显示 blaKPC 基因定位于多种非克隆阴沟肠杆菌遗传背景的质粒上。这些发现突出了单个医院爆发 KPC 的潜在复杂性。
