Multiply resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from two Chicago hospitals: identification of the extended-spectrum TEM-12 and TEM-10 ceftazidime-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases in a single isolate.

Ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains began to appear when ceftazidime usage was increased in two unrelated Chicago hospitals. These strains produced a beta-lactamase with an isoelectric point of 5.6 (RP-5.6) and strong hydrolyzing activity against ceftazidime. Two different restrictio...
