Genomic epidemiology of global <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> carbapenemase (KPC)-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i>

2017-02-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The dissemination of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli has major implications for the management of common human infections. bla KPC , encoding a transmissible carbapenemase (KPC), has historically largely been associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae, a predominant plasmid (pKpQIL), and a specific transposable element (Tn 4401, ~10kb). Here we characterize the genetic features of the...
