Oxacillinase-181 Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Ghana 2017–2019

摘要

We sequenced 29 carbapenemase-producing isolates from a neonatal intensive care unit in Ghana. Twenty-eight isolates were sequence type 17 with and differed by 0–32 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Improved surveillance and infection control are needed to characterize and curb the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms in sub-Saharan Africa.
