Abstract:
Objective To study 8 isolates of multiple antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella oxytoca in 8 different patients from one surgical ward. Methods Susceptibility test, extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) screening methods and some molecular biological methods were performed. Results 8 isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca were verified as closely related homologous CTX-M-3-producing strains. Conclusions The little outbreak was caused by 8 closely related homologous strains in one ward.
