Tracking a hospital outbreak of KPC-producing ST11 Klebsiella pneumoniae with whole genome sequencing [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2015
An outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains emerged at a hospital, and was tracked in order to understand the spread of these infectious pathogens. A total of 66 K. pneumoniae strains were collected from sterile samples in 2012. The MICs of 20 antimicrobial agents were determined for all strains.

Clonal Dissemination of Clinical Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Carrying fosA3 and blaKPC–2 Coharboring Plasmids in Shandong, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Treatment strategies of infection by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are limited. Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, has attracted renewed interest in combination therapy to fight K. pneumoniae infections.

The first isolation of Clostridium difficile RT078/ST11 from pigs in China

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2019
We investigated the molecular characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of Clostridium difficile isolated from animals in China. We obtained 538 rectal swabs from pigs, chickens and ducks in 5 provinces during 2015 and 2016. C. difficile isolates were characterized by detection of toxin genes, multilocus sequence typing and ribotyping.

Epidemiological characteristics an outbreak of ST11 multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in Anhui, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Klebsiella pneumoniae has become a primary threat to global health because of its virulence and resistance. In 2015, China reported multidrug-resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) isolates. The emergence of MDR-hvKp poses a significant threat to public health. We collected 76 MDR K.

Uncovering the gut microbiota as a reservoir of ST11 hypervirulent KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniaeUncovering the gut microbiota as a reservoir of ST11 hypervirulent KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Abstract Background: The emergence and spread of ST11 carbapenem-resistant, hypervirulent K. pneumonia (ST11-CR-HvKP) in China generated great concern from the public health community. The identification of ST11-CR-HvKP strain is expected to become a serious public health issue in China, considering the carbapenem resistance and virulence had ...
