pubmed:abstractText |
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (EPKP) strains are frequently implicated in outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). During the period from 1997 to 1998, 21 infections and 23 colonizations with EPKP were recorded in the NICU of a children's hospital in Athens, Greece. Seventeen of the infected and 12 of the colonized neonates had been referred from other hospitals. The remaining infections and colonizations occurred during the current hospitalization. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing showed that the latter cases were due to an outbreak strain that persisted in the unit, while the repeated introduction of EPKP carriers was mostly due to clonal outbreaks in two maternity hospitals.
