ABSTRACT
We report the epidemiological impact of carbapenemases-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Spain in 2012. Of the 237 carbapenemases detected 163 were OXA-48 group, 60 VIM-1, 8 KPC-2, 5 IMP group, and one NDM-1. Inter-hospital spread of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae was due to a limited number of MLST and carbapenemases types including ST15/VIM-1, ST11/OXA-48, ST405/OXA-48, ST101/KPC-2 and ST11/VIM-1. The number of CPE in Spain has increased sharply in recent years mainly due to the emergence of OXA-48.
