Abstract
We describe a cluster of genetically related extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 14 recovered from human clinical samples and an alfalfa-cress sample collected by systematic food sampling in Basel, Switzerland. Our findings suggest food could represent a reservoir contributing to spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing Enterobacterales.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
