International clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in a Czech hospital

Abstract

A 2-month survey of extended-spectrum â-lactamase (ESBL) producers was performed in a Czech hospital. Klebsiella pneumoniae produced SHV-2, -5 or -12, Escherichia coli produced CTX-M-9 or -15, and other species produced TEM-92 or -132.
