Klebsiella pneumoniae strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in Spain: microbiological and clinical features

C Ruiz de Alegría et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2011 Mar.

Abstract

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) of the CTX-M, SHV, and TEM families were recognized in 76 (67%), 31 (27%), and 6 (5%) isolates, respectively, among 162 ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-Kp) strains obtained in a multicenter study in Spain. Predisposing factors for ESBL-Kp acquisition included invasive procedures, mechanical ventilation, and previous antimicrobial use.
