Klebsiella pneumoniae carbepenemase

We've talked a lot about this one -- but fortunately have yet to see one.

Some useful reviews/information:
  1. The emergence of KPC in Canada - CMAJ here.
    • Another large (Greek) outbreak described here.
  2. A good review from Lancet ID here.
  3. What happens when you treat KPC with carbepenems? See here.
  4. What is the best way to screen for them in the lab? Here (and here)
  5. What are the treatment options?
