Intestinal persistence of a plasmid harbouring the OXA-48 carbapenemase gene after hospital discharge
Abstract
To study intestinal colonization by OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KpO48) after hospital discharge, stool samples from 22 previously colonized subjects were collected. Time from discharge was 33–611 days, without readmissions. Eight subjects (36%) were identified as blaOXA-48 gene carriers. In all of them the hospital-acquired strain of KpO48 had been lost, and the gene was harboured by other strains of K. pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca...
