Identification of Capsular Types in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains by <i>wzc</i> Sequencing and Implications for Capsule Depolymerase Treatment
2 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important human pathogen associated with a variety of diseases, and the prevalence of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae (MDRKP) is rapidly increasing. Here we determined the capsular types of 85 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) strains by wzc sequencing and investigated the presence of carbapenemases and integrons among CRKP strains. Ten CRKP strains (12%) were positive for...
