Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of three classes of antibiotics were determined using the E. test. Standard polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing were performed using primers targeting ESBL, 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) methyltransferases, aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs), and quinolone encoding genes. Clonal relationships among the clinical isolates were performed using multilocus sequence typing. From our clinical isolates, we found high rates of antimicrobial resistance that were linked to the presence of different ESBL encoding genes and AMEs, including 23 strains that harbored several ESBL encoding genes along with the 16S rRNA methyltransferase\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">armA<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Among these isolates, we identified a cluster of eight isolates of the ST39 clone between February and June 2010 in a pediatric ward, suggesting that an outbreak had occurred during this period. In conclusion, the emergence of multidrug-resistant clones, which were likely responsible for a nosocomial outbreak, is worrying because there are already limited options in those critical situations. Finally, we believe that surveillance should be implemented to monitor the risk of emergence and spread of carbapenemases in Algeria.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/mdr.2013.0193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,29]],"date-time":"2014-01-29T16:36:10Z","timestamp":1391013370000},"page":"310-315","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Outbreak of an\n                    <i>armA<\/i>\n                    Methyltransferase-Producing ST39\n                    <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/i>\n                    Clone in a Pediatric Algerian Hospital"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Zineb","family":"Belbel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit\u00e9 de Recherche sur Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9","place":["France"]},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Badji Mokhtar, Annaba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Houria","family":"Chettibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Badji Mokhtar, Annaba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mazouz","family":"Dekhil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Central de Microbiologie"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Ladjama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Badji Mokhtar, Annaba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabrina","family":"Nedjai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Central de Microbiologie"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marc","family":"Rolain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit\u00e9 de Recherche sur Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2926","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.01049-13","article-title":"Epidemiological and microbiological characteristics of an outbreak caused by OXA-48-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Jerusalem, Israel","volume":"51","author":"Adler A.","year":"2013","unstructured":"Adler A., , Solter E., , Masarwa S., , Miller-Roll T., , Abu-Libdeh B., , Khammash H., , Najem K., , Dekadek S., , Stein-Zamir C., , Nubani N., , Kunbar A., , Assous M.V., , Carmeli Y., , and Schwaber M.J.. 2013.
