<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> as a key trafficker of drug resistance genes from environmental to clinically important bacteria

2018-04-13

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen known for its high frequency and diversity of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. In addition to being a significant clinical problem in its own right, K. pneumoniae is the species within which several new AMR genes were first discovered before spreading to other pathogens (e.g. carbapenem-resistance genes KPC, OXA-48 and NDM-1). Whilst K. pneumoniae ’...
