Resumen:
Between June 2007 and January 2008, 26 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates carrying bla(DHA-1) on an IncL/M plasmid were obtained from clinical samples at Granollers Hospital, Barcelona, Spain. Three of the isolates also carried a bla(CTX-M-15) gene. The 26 isolates showed 11 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns. Multilocus sequence typing showed that PFGE patterns A, B and C belonged to sequence type (ST) 17, D to ST13, E to ST427, F and G to ST416, H to ST37, I to ST440, J to ST326, and K to ST428. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of the infection control programme in place at the centre. This study reports the first characterization of STs for bla(DHA-1)-producing K. pneumoniae isolates.
