      Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well-studied human pathogen for which antimicrobial resistant and hypervirulent clones have emerged globally. K. pneumoniae is also present in a variety of environmental niches, but currently there is a lack of knowledge on the occurrence and characteristics of K. pneumoniae from non-human sources. Certain environmental niches, e.g., animals, may be associated with high ...

      Hetland, Marit; Hawkey, Jane; Bernhoff, Eva; Bakksjø, Ragna-Johanne; Kaspersen, Håkon; Rettedal, Siren; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Holt, Kathryn E.; Löhr, Iren Høyland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-18)
      Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 17 is a global problem clone that causes multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital infections worldwide. In 2008–2009, an outbreak of MDR ST17 occurred at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Stavanger, Norway. Fifty-seven children were colonized. We observed intestinal persistence of ST17 in all of the children for up to two years after hospital discharge. ...
