We aimed to provide updated epidemiologic data on carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella
pneumoniae in Portugal by characterizing all isolates (N= 46) recovered during 2013–2018 …

Objectives To provide, for the first time, data on the molecular epidemiology of
carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from the northern region …

Carbapenemases, a class of enzymes specialized in the hydrolysis of carbapenems,
represent a significant threat to global public health. These enzymes are classified into …

KPC-3-producing bacteria are endemic in many countries but only recently became
apparent their wide distribution in different Portuguese hospitals. The aim of this study is to …

Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, with whole-
genome sequencing (WGS) significantly improving our ability to characterize associated …

Herein, we describe a case report of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and
Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates that were identified from the same patient at a Tertiary …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a prominent etiological agent of healthcare associated infections
(HAIs). In this context, multidrug-resistant and biofilm-producing bacteria are of special …

In order to evaluate whether seagulls living on the Lisbon coastline, Portugal, might be
colonized and consequently represent potential spreaders of multidrug-resistant bacteria, a …
