Abstract excerpt
Ceftazidime-avibactam resistance among carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae at our hospital has emerged in sequence type (ST)-258, clade II isolates.

Mutational frequencies were ≤10-7.1, indicating that isolates were not hypermutators. Mutational frequencies did not differ between...
