Global molecular epidemiology of the incomplete CirA protein related to cefiderocol resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae : a genome-based study
19 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT CirA is an iron transporter comprising 657 amino acids in Klebsiella pneumoniae, and incomplete CirA alone leads to reduced susceptibility to cefiderocol. We performed a genome-based analysis to study the prevalence of incomplete CirA in K. pneumoniae through analyzing all genomes of this species ( n = 55,517, as of 26 October 2023) available in NCBI. We detected incomplete CirA in 633 (1.27%) genomes...
