<i>Klebsiella quasipneumonaiae</i> provides a window into carbapenemase gene transfer, plasmid rearrangements and nosocomial acquisition from the hospital environment
2018-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Several emerging pathogens have arisen as a result of selection pressures exerted by modern healthcare. Klebsiella quasipneumoniae was recently defined as a new species, yet its prevalence, niche, and propensity to acquire antimicrobial resistance genes are not fully described. We have been tracking inter- and intra-species transmission of the Klebsiella quasipneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) gene, bla KPC , betwe...
