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 . %K Klebsiella pneumoniae %K Nurseries, Hospital %K Spain %K beta-Lactamases %~
