渥太华医院（一家拥有 1,040 个床位的教学医院）收治的三名患者分离出的肺炎克雷伯菌，被发现含有质粒传播的肺炎克雷伯菌碳青霉烯酶 (KPC) bla 基因 (bla KPC)。有证据表明两名患者存在人际传播。对 186 个临床分离株的筛选未发现其他含有 bla(KPC) 的分离株。
Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from three patients admitted to the Ottawa Hospital, a 1,040-bed teaching hospital, were found to contain the plasmid-borne K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing bla gene ( bla KPC). There was evidence of person-to-person transmission for two patients. Screening of 186 clinical isolates revealed no additional bla(KPC)-containing isolates.
