Abstract
The molecular epidemiology of endemic carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA), and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in an intensive care unit located in an endemic area with high rates of resistance was investigated. A CRPA strain producing VIM and KPC concurrently was detected for the first time in an endemic area. CRKP strains producing K. pneumoniae carbapenemase predominated and were mainly assigned to the "hyperepidemic Greek clone." Predominant OXA-23-like producing CRAB strains were assigned to multiple pulsotypes.Entities:
