Clinical, Radiological, and Microbiological Characteristics of Mycobacterium simiae Infection in 97 Patients.

abstract：:Carbapenem resistance due to KPC has rarely been observed outside the United States. We noticed a sharp increase in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains possessing KPC in Tel Aviv Medical Center from 2004 to 2006. Sixty percent of the isolates belonged to a single clone susceptible only to gentamicin and...
