Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Two novel variants of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) associated with resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and designated as KPC-113 and KPC-114 by NCBI were identified in 2020, in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Brazil. While K. pneumoniae of ST16 harbored the bla KPC-113 variant on an IncFII-IncFIB plasmid, K. pneumoniae of ST11 carried the bla KPC-114 variant on an IncN...
