Abstract
A carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniaestrain was isolated in October 2011 in the pediatric unit of the Hôpital central de l’armée in Algeria, this strain have been confirmed for the production of OXA-48 carbapenemase. The blaOXA-48gene was located on a self conjugative plasmid of 70kb. Multilocus sequence typing indicated the presence of the sequence type ST-307. This is the first isolation of OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniaein Algeria.
