Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales is a public health threat. Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (encoded by alleles of the bla KPC family) is one of the commonest transmissible carbapenem resistance mechanisms worldwide. The dissemination of bla KPC has historically been associated with distinct K. pneumoniae lineages (clonal group 258 [CG258]), a particular plasmid family (pKpQIL),...
