Epidemiological Characteristics of OXA-232-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated during Nosocomial Clonal Spread Associated with Environmental Colonization

Epidemiological Characteristics of OXA-232-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated during Nosocomial Clonal Spread Associated with Environmental Colonization

ABSTRACT Here, a program was designed to surveil the colonization and associated infection of OXA-232-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) (OXA-232-CRKP) in an intensive care unit (ICU) and to describe the epidemiological characteristics during surveillance. Samples were sourc...
