Patterns of Resistance Associated with Integrons, the Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase SHV-5 Gene, and a Multidrug Efflux Pump of Klebsiella pneumoniae Causing a Nosocomial Outbreak

Multiresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae caused a nosocomial outbreak. Resistance patterns of the presumed outbreak isolates varied among and within patients. In order to control the outbreak, screening for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing K. pneumoniae was commenced. A number of susceptib...
