Abstract

An outbreak of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred at a children's hospital in Japan. MBL-producing K. pneumoniae was detected in tea dispenser in the hospital, the use of which was associated with the acquisition of the MBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The outbreak ceased after use of the tea dispenser was banned.
