NDM-5-producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> ST258 in a university hospital in Argentina
Our study describes the first outbreak of NDM5-KpST258 at an ICU in Argentina, remarkably associated with considerable changes in the carbapenemase epidemiology. The intrinsic characteristics of ST258 may contribute to increased spread of NDM in hospital settings, resembling KPC-2 dissemination.
