13 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The dissemination of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli has major implications for the management of common infections. bla KPC , encoding a transmissible carbapenemase (KPC), has historically largely been associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae , a predominant plasmid (pKpQIL), and a specific transposable element (Tn 4401 , ~10 kb). Here we characterize the genetic features of bla KPC emergence in...
