Conclusions:
Yersiniabactin-producing K. pneumoniae can display a high pathogenicity in extremely premature infants with low chronologic age. This outbreak also underlines the considerable potential of today’s infection control systems for recognizing and controlling nosocomial infections in highly vulnerable populations.
