Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), known as "superbug", plays an important role in relation to nosocomial infections. Objectives: To identify the incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae with resistance factor KPC in adults in hospitals in the Midwest, Southeast and South regions of Brazil between the years 2006 and 2016, also observing the profile of resistance to antimicrobials. Method: Retrospective research with descriptive and qualitative basis, being a systematic literary literature review carried out through the databases: SciELO, Medline, LILACS and Pubmed. Results: 95 articles were found, of which 58 were included. The South region obtained the highest prevalence for KPC isolates in hospitals, being Klebsiella pneumoniae. Regarding antimicrobials, Ertapenem had almost 100% resistance in all states. Conclusion: It is necessary to implement precautions and control the spread of this type of resistance mechanism.
