Nosocomial Outbreak of Pediatric Gastroenteritis Caused by CTX-M-14-Type Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Strains of Salmonella enterica Serovar London

摘要

CTX-M-14-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase was first detected in Salmonella enterica serovar London strains which were isolated from three hospitalized pediatric patients with gastroenteritis. The isolates had pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns identical to those of the previously isolated antimicrobial-susceptible strains from community-acquired gastroenteritis, suggesting the susceptible clone acquired the resistance.
