Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="clm12727-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We characterized 53 OXA‐48‐producing <italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae</italic> (OXA‐48‐Kp) isolated between 2011 and 2013 in 21 French hospitals. All the isolates were genotyped using MLST and PFGE and the population structure of the species was determined by a nucleotide‐based analysis of the entire <italic>K. pneumoniae </italic>MLST database. Most of the OXA‐48‐Kp isolates also produced CTX‐M‐15 and remained susceptible to imipenem and meropenem. The isolates were distributed into 20 STs, of which five were dominant (ST15, ST101, ST147, ST395 and ST405). All the OXA‐48‐Kp clustered in the major clade of <italic>K. pneumoniae</italic> KpI.</p> </abstract>
