Emergence of a pandrug-resistant VIM-1-producing Providencia stuartii clonal strain causing an outbreak in a Greek intensive care unit
چکیده انگلیسی
Here we describe an outbreak caused by a pandrug-resistant Providencia stuartii strain involving 15 critically ill patients in a Greek intensive care unit (ICU) during September-November 2011. All isolates harboured the blaVIM-1 gene and a class 1 integron structure of 1913 bp as well as blaSHV-5 and blaTEM-1. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) demonstrated that isolates from all 15 patients belonged to a single P. stuartii clonal type. As all of the infected patients were hospitalised during overlapping time periods, horizontal intra-ICU transmission was considered as the main route for the dissemination of the outbreak strain. The outbreak ended following reinforcement of infection control measures, including implementation of additional barrier precautions for infected patients.
