Thierry Naas,Gaelle Cuzon,Maria Virginia Villegas,Marie-Frédérique Lartigue,John P. Quinn,Patrice Nordmann +5 more
TL;DR: Genetic structures surrounding the carbapenem-hydrolyzing Ambler class A blaKPC gene were characterized in several KPC-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from the United States, Colombia, and Greece.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acinetobacter outbreaks, 1977-2000.
TL;DR: A review of Acinetobacter outbreaks summarizes factors related to the presence and recognition of organism transmission and describes the implementation of control and prevention measures directed at limiting spread of infection as mentioned in this paper.
