Flow chart of network of healthcare centers participating in a study of Klebsiella pneumoniae–carbapenemase producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp), Italy, 2016–2018. The KPC-Kp network included 15 hospitals. Patients were included when KPC-Kp was diagnosed and excluded for various reasons. Hospitals were included when they submitted KPC-Kp–confirmed isolates and excluded from analysis when had no confirmed patients or did not enroll all confirmed patients. KPC-Kp, Klebsiella pneumoniae–carbapenemase producing K. pneumoniae.
