Spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST395 non-susceptible to carbapenems and resistant to fluoroquinolones in North-Eastern France
Abstract Objectives Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are a potential treatment for infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae that are susceptible to these agents. Methods Owing to increasing non-susceptibility to carbapenems among Enterobacteriaceae, in this study FQ resistance mechanisms were characterised in 36 ertapenem-non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from North-Eastern France in 2012. The population structure was described by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results Among the 36 isolates, 13 (36%) carried a carbapenemase encoding-gene. Decreased expression of the OmpK35-encoding gene might be…
