We present a large outbreak of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neonatal intensive care unit that resulted in 31 colonized infants, 10 invasive infections, and 5 attributable deaths over a 5-month period. Although the source of infection was unknown, over-crowding and understaffing appeared to have been aggravating factors. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2012; 33(6):631-634
