Carbapenem-Resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Producing New Delhi Metallo-<i>β</i>-Lactamase at an Acute Care Hospital, Colorado, 2012

Abstract

A 4-month outbreak of NDM-producing CRE occurred at a single hospital, highlighting the risk for spread of these organisms. Combined WGS and epidemiologic data suggested transmission primarily occurred on 4 units. Timely SC, combined with targeted IC measures, were likely responsible for controlling transmission.
