characterization of mobile genetic elements carrying vim-1 and kpc-2 carbapenemases in citrobacter freundii isolates in madrid. | carbapenemase producing citrobacter freundii (cpcf) infections are still uncommon in european countries. here we report a molecular study conducted in a tertiary care facility in southern madrid, spain, from 2009 to 2014 to investigate the epidemiology of cpcf. the blaimp-1,blaimp-2,blakpc,blandm,blaoxa-48,blavim-1 and blavim-2 genes were screened by pcr. molecular typing was carried out by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis (pfge) and multilocus sequence typing (mlst). whole genome seque ... | 2017 | 28711315 |
