Decadal Evolution of KPC-related plasmids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa high-risk clone ST463 in Zhejiang, China
19 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KPC-PA) isolates have quickly expanded in China, especially the high-risk clone ST463. We aimed to explore the evolution of KPC-related plasmids driving ST463 clone success. Whole-genome sequencing of 1258 clinical P. aeruginosa strains (2011–2020) identified 106 ST463-PA isolates, with a KPC prevalence of 90.6%. Early on (2011-2012), ST463-PA...
