Minimal Spanning Tree of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> Isolates in Fecal Carriage in Children in Guinea-Bissau.

<p>Full legend: The tree maps the relatedness of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> isolates. Isolates ≥93% related in DiversiLab analysis are grouped in a pie where each slice represents one isolate in the cluster. Each cluster was assigned a Roman numeral. Red indicates resistance to gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, which at the time of the study were all easily available antibiotics except cephalosporin to treat gram-negative bacterial infections in Guinea-Bissau. Green indicates susceptibility to at least one of the mentioned agents.</p

Antimicrobial Non-Susceptibility of ESBL-Producing <i>E. coli</i> and <i>K. pneumoniae</i> in Guinea-Bissau¹.

1<p>Non-susceptibility of isolate was defined as intermediate (I) or resistant (R) to respective antibiotic agent.</p>2<p>Non-susceptibility of isolate to three or more categories of antimicrobial agents as proposed by Magiorakos et al. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0051981#pone.0051981-Oteo1" target="_blank">[30]</a>.</p>3<p>Available antimicrobials for common infections caused by gram-negative bacteria in Guinea-Bissau at the time of the study were trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin and ceftriaxone.</p
