New Microbiol. 2020 Mar 01;43(1) Authors: Nucleo E, Marchetti VM, Mercato A, Quatela M, Villa L, Migliavacca R Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is an important pathogen involved in serious nosocomial infections all over the world. Here, we describe the first report on a blood-stream infection caused by an OXA- 48/NDM-1 ST101-KP, in Italy. The patient was an Italian woman, transferred from Cairo Hospital to a Neurosurgery ward in Cuneo (IT). The detection described here enhances the need for an effective National infection control strategy in Italy. PMID: 32118283 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
