Whole Genome Characterization of the High-Risk Clone ST383 Klebsiella pneumoniae with a Simultaneous Carriage of blaCTX-M-14 on IncL/M Plasmid and blaCTX-M-15 on Convergent IncHI1B/IncFIB Plasmid from Egypt

Abstract excerpt

Recently, Egypt has witnessed the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae, which has posed a serious healthcare challenge. The accelerated dissemination of blaCTX-M genes among these MDR K. pneumoniae, particularly blaCTX-M-14 and blaCTX-M-15, have been noted. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of blaCTX-M-IV among K. pneumoniae recovered from the laboratory of a major hospital in...
