Molecular characteristics of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in China from 2008 to 2011: Predominance of KPC-2 enzyme
2014
Abstract Among 228 carbapenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae isolated in China, 65 were carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). Among them, 41, 22, 1, and 1 produced KPC-2, IMP-4, IMP-8, and IMP-1, respectively. KPC-2-producing CPE showed higher resistance than IMP-4-producing ones. Furthermore, the first outbreak of ST11 KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Beijing second-degree hospital was identified.
