Extended-spectrum beta-Lactamase-producing (ESBL) Klebsiella sp.isolates from an outbreak in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at a teaching hospital in Londrina, Paraná State, Brazil, presented atypical phenotypic characteristics that hampered their identification and the distinction between Klebsiella and Enterobacter species. Ten isolates were identified as K. pneumoniae due to negative reactions for motility and inducible beta-lactamase test (ESBL and AmpC) despite being positive for ornithyne descarboxilase. These isolates were genotyped by ribotyping and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with repetitive extragenic palindromic sequences (REP). Ribotyping by means of an automated instrument and EcoRI and Pvu II as restriction enzymes resulted...
