title: KPC-2 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli co-infection in a catheter-related infection.
abstract: We describe the first report of simultaneous blood infection with KPC-2 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in a Brazilian patient. We highlight the importance of implementing efficient infection control measures to limit the spread of these phenotypes in a hospital setting.
