Genetic Cluster of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase–Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> in Humans and Food, Switzerland, 2018–2019
We describe a cluster of genetically related extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 14 recovered from human clinical samples and an alfalfa-cress sample collected by systematic food sampling in Basel, Switzerland. Our findings suggest food could represent a reservoir contributing to spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales.
