Introduction: Resistance to carbapenems is considered to represent a serious threat to public health at the global level, since these antibiotics are one of the last therapeutic options for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Molecular characterization of outbreaks due to resistant bacteria provides information that can be used in the design of infection control strategies.Objective: To describe the molecular characteristics of an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae that occurred in a tertiary care hospital in Medellín in 2010-2011.Materials and methods:Eighty-four isolates were obtained from a collection of strains associated with the hospital outbreak, of which 32 were from patients infected at that time and ...
