Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBL) and KPC are often involved in health care associated infections (HAI). Plasmids responsible for producing these enzymes may carry genes responsable for resistance to aminoglycosides. Recently, a new mechanism for resistance to aminoglycosides was detected in Gram-negative bacteria, 16S rRNA methyltransferases, which c…
K. pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) are frequently involved in hospital infections in intensive care unit (ICU), including neonatal ICU. ESBLs are capable of hydrolyzing all penicillins, cephalosporins and aztreonam, and the most prevalent ESBL in Brazil is CTX-M-2. Carbapenems are considered the agents of choice for treatment of infections caused by ESBL-produc…
