Abstract

We describe the investigation and control of aKlebsiella pneumoniaecarbapenemase-producingK. pneumoniaeoutbreak in a 20-bed surgical intensive care unit during the period from January 1, 2009 through January 1, 2010. Nine patients were either colonized or infected with a monoclonal strain ofK. pneumoniae.The implementation of a bundle of interventions on July 2009 successfully controlled the further horizontal spread of this organism.
