Virulence and Plasmid Transferability of KPC <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System of New Jersey

25 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are associated with high mortality; however, little is known about the virulence determinants of KPC-producing K. pneumoniae. At the Veterans Affairs New Jersey Healthcare System (VA NJHCS), we investigated the virulence and plasmid transferability of 60 clinically unique KPC-containing K. pneumoniae isolates. All 60 isolates...
