ESBL-Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Exhibit Divergent Paths During In-Human Evolution Towards Carbapenem Resistance
14 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Treatment of infections caused by ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) with carbapenem antibiotics can lead to the development of carbapenem resistance over time through the acquisition of porin mutations and plasmids bearing blaKPC. However, the impact of genetic background and the presence of CRISPR-Cas systems on the evolutionary path towards carbapenem resistance in EC and KP...
