NovelblaKPC-carrying species identified in the hospital environment
Keyword(s):
AbstractblaKPC, encoding one of five dominant global carbapenemase families, is increasingly identified in environmental species difficult to characterize using routine diagnostic methods, with epidemiological and clinical implications. During environmental hospital infection prevention and control investigations (Manchester, UK) we used whole genome sequencing to confirm species identification for isolates infrequently associated withblaKPCand/or difficult to classify by MALDI-ToF. Four previously undescribedblaKPC-carrying species were identified from the hospital environment, including a putative, novelEnterobacterspecies.
