Abstract
The dissemination of high-risk clones presents a major challenge for the worldwide health system because of their ability to overcome control measures and cross institutional and national borders and so provide a stable platform for the spread of resistance determinants. The traceability of such successful clones is important for the design of control strategies.1 The dissemination of different high-risk MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae clones belonging to clonal complex 258/340 (ST11, ST258, ST340, ST437 and ST512) has been a key factor in the propagation of carbapenemase genes, especially blaKPC .
