A Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate resistant to imipenem was recovered from a wound sample. The patient, a 57-year-old man, underwent a surgical resection of small bowel and sigmoid colon and was treated with multiple courses of antimicrobials. PCR analysis revealed that the clinical isolate was carrying simultaneously bla(VIM-1), bla(KPC-2), bla(SHV) and bla(TEM) genes. The concomitant presence of these genes is alarming and poses therapeutic as well as infection control problems.
