26 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 (KPC-2) presents a clinical threat as this β-lactamase confers resistance to carbapenems. Recent variants of KPC-2 in clinical isolates contribute to concerning resistance phenotypes. Klebsiella pneumoniae expressing KPC-2 D179Y acquired resistance to the ceftazidime/avibactam combination affecting both the β-lactam and the β-lactamase inhibitor yet has lowered...
