disk diffusion” (Version 9.0, 2019) for the routine and extended internal quality control of antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the recommended control strains are with numbers from particular collections, e.g.: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (NCTC 12241, CIP 76.24, DSM 1103, CCUG 17620, CECT 434) [5].
The set of control strains for internal quality control should match the scope of diagnostics carried out by a laboratory, it should enable control of all stages of a laboratory’s routine work. The

Herein, we report an investigation of CRKP carriage and acquisition in the ICU to illustrate the clonal spread of CRKP isolates, their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, and to track their evolutionary traits further.

The results obtained were compared with data at the Cronobacter PubMLST database.
