Virulence of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Harboring blaKPC-2 Carbapenemase Gene in a Caenorhabditis elegans Model

2 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) is a carbapenemase increasingly reported worldwide in Enterobacteriaceae. The aim of this study was to analyze the virulence of several KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolates. The studied strains were (i) five KPC-2 clinical strains from different geographical origins, belonging to different ST-types and possessing plasmids of different incompatibility groups; (ii) seven...
