Abstract
Here we describe the emergence of VIM-2-producing hvKP serotype K1/ST23 in an outbreak with high mortality in a hospital toxicological ICU. It appears that we must alert and prepare the hospital's surveillance system for the appearance, expansion and clinical importance of new K. pneumoniae clones associated with high antimicrobial resistance and robust virulence capabilities.
