Enhanced Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase Expression from a Novel Tn 4401 Deletion
4 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase gene ( bla KPC ) is typically located within mobile transposon Tn 4401 . Enhanced KPC expression has been associated with deletions in the putative promoter region upstream of bla KPC . Illumina sequences from bla KPC -positive clinical isolates from a single institution were mapped to a Tn 4401 b reference sequence, which carries no deletions. The novel isoform Tn...
