Emergence and genetic characterization of KLUC-3 extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli ST95 High-Risk clone causing nosocomial infection in Japan
This is the first case of nosocomial transmission of KLUC-3 producers outside China. The bla<sub>KLUC-3</sub> emergence in the virulent pandemic lineage ST95 is a public health problem highlighting the need for further investigations to prevent its potential dissemination.
