Detection of a new SHV-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, SHV-31, in a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain causing a large nosocomial outbreak in The Netherlands.

abstract：:Twenty-three isolates of group A streptococci (GAS) recovered from population-based invasive GAS surveillance in the United States were erythromycin resistant, inducibly clindamycin resistant, and lacked known macrolide resistance determinants. These 23 isolates, representing four different clones, contained a broad-h...
