Geneticand phenotypic characterization of a novel ST45-K43 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain causing bloodstream infection: a potential clinical threat.

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common pathogen of nosocomial infection, which can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infection, cystitis, and bloodstream infections (BSIs). Here, we genetically characterize a novel carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) strain recovered from the blood of a 44-year-old male patient with severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis and septic shock in China. The strain is a ST45 K. pneumoniae...
