By analyzing the PFGE profiles of K. pneumoniae isolates the 68.1% was highly clonally related. Even if seven distinct PFGE patterns and five subclusters were revealed (Table 2), the greater part of the strains (88.4%) exhibited the pattern designed as A, 47 strains had an identical genomic DNA and 14 differed for only 1–3 bands. All these strains, and also two singular isolates belonging to the C and D pulsotypes, resulted positive for the KPC gene.

Abstract
By analyzing the PFGE profiles of K. pneumoniae isolates the 68.1% was highly clonally related. Even if seven distinct PFGE patterns and five subclusters were revealed (Table 2), the greater part of the strains (88.4%) exhibited the pattern designed as A, 47 strains had an identical genomic DNA and 14 differed for only 1–3 bands. All these strains, and also two singular isolates belonging to the C and D pulsotypes, resulted positive for the KPC gene.
