Widespread emergence of OmpK36 loop 3 insertions among multidrug-resistant clones of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>
2022-02-07
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in outer membrane porins act in synergy with carbapenemase enzymes to increase carbapenem resistance in the important nosocomial pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP). A key example is a di-amino acid insertion, Glycine-Aspartate (GD), in the extracellular loop 3 (L3) region of OmpK36 which constricts the pore and restricts entry of carbapenems into the bacterial cell. Here we combined genomic and experi...
