摘要: Nosocomial infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli are a major concern worldwide. There is an urgent need to identify bacterial factors promoting survival and persistence of these organisms in the nosocomial environment. Here, we describe presence gene cluster, containing Clp ATPase ClpK, within collection Danish ESBL-producing E. isolates. The cluster conferred thermoprotection upon isolates, thus might facilitate on medical devices exposed semi-high temperatures hospital setting.
