摘要: Among 177 extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected from 11 Slovenian hospitals in 2005 and 2006, 60 (34%), eight hospitals, harbored genes for CTX-M enzymes, with blaCTX-M-15 detected by sequencing. These comprised pulsed-field gel electrophoresis-defined strains, several clusters of closely related isolates. Plasmids encoding CTX-M-15 enzyme were highly transmissible.
