Genomic characterization of plasmids harboring bla NDM-1, bla NDM-5, and bla NDM-7 carbapenemase alleles in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pakistan
22 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae is notorious for causing healthcare-associated infections, which become more complicated by the acquisition of bla NDM genes via mobile genetic elements. Although Pakistan is a well-established hot spot of bla NDM -positive K. pneumoniae , detailed molecular descriptions of bla NDM -carrying plasmids are scarce. Seven K. pneumoniae isolates harboring bla NDM were recovered from...
