Abstract
To describe an outbreak of KPC-3-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) and determine the diagnostic efficacy of MALDI-TOF in its detection. Retrospective study of the KPC-3-KPN isolated in 2 hospitals in Ciudad Real. The peak at 11,109 kDa ± 15 was sought in the KPN spectra provided by MALDI-TOF. We isolated 156 KPN strains that carried the blaKPC-3 gene, with a unique profile belonging to ST512 (31 strains studied). There was 25% of infected...
