Abstract
During a survey of the prevalent subtypes of extended-spectrumβ-lactamases in a university hospital in Korea, a nosocomial outbreak ofEscherichia coliproducing CTX-M-15 and OXA-30β-lactamases was detected. The outbreak comprised various infections, including bloodstream infections and colonization, and persisted for several months in various areas of the hospital.Keywords
