Abstract

The spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) is an emerging concern worldwide. Italy is a country endemic for Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapene- mases (KPCs). KPC spread in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may represent a major safety issue for critical infants and a challenge in managing new admissions.
