Diversity among blaKPC-containing plasmids in Escherichia coli and other bacterial species isolated from the same patients
2 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae are a significant public health concern, and genes encoding the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) have contributed to the global spread of carbapenem resistance. In the current study, we used whole-genome sequencing to investigate the diversity of blaKPC-containing plasmids and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms among 26 blaKPC-containing Escherichia coli,...
