Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates in Egyptian hospitals has been reported. However, the genetic basis and the analysis of the plasmids associated with CR-hypervirulent-KP (CR-HvKP) in Egypt are not presented. Therefore, we attempt to decipher the plasmids sequences, which are responsible for transferring the determinants of carbapenem-resistance, partic...
