Genomic Investigation Reveals Contaminated Detergent as the Source of an Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing Klebsiella michiganensis Outbreak in a Neonatal Unit.

species are problematic pathogens in neonatal units and may cause outbreaks, for which the sources of transmission may be challenging to elucidate. We describe the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate environmental sources of transmission during an outbreak of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing colonizing neonates. Ceftriaxone-resistant spp.
