Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae increased significantly during COVID-19 in Argentina, rising from 20 % in 2019 to 30 % in 2021. Additionally, there was a notable increase of K. pneumoniae ST307 co-producing KPC and NDM. We aimed to reveal the genetic structure of the plasmids harbored in six isolates of K. pneumoniae ST307 co-producing KPC and NDM and to expression levels of both...
