Molecular Epidemiology of a Citywide Outbreak of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection

Multidrug-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are a problem in many hospitals. In 1999, the molecular epidemiology of K. pneumoniae with extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) was studied at 15 hospitals in Brooklyn.
