[Investigation of carbapenemase genes and molecular epidemiology of Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated between 2010-2014 in a university hospitals].

According to this study, blaOXA-48 producing gram negative bacteria were frequent in our hospital. The prevalance of blaVIM gene among metallo-beta-lactamases and coexistence with blaOXA-48 gene was remarkable. The frequency of blaNDM producing isolates in our hospital was not detected as high yet. In this study, the identification of carbapenemase producing bacteria as outbreak strains in our hospital indicated that cross-sectional surveillance for carbapenemase-producing bacteria from each patient was valuable in terms of early diagnosis of outbreaks.
