RESUMO
We document here the in vivo transfer of bla(KPC-2) between intensive care unit-acquired and a commensal strain of K. pneumoniae in a French patient after his repatriation from Greece. This first report of an emerging KPC-producing strain in France raises further concerns about the spread of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae.
