OmpK36-mediated Carbapenem resistance attenuates ST258 Klebsiella pneumoniae in vivo

Abstract Carbapenem-resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) sequence type ST258 is mediated by carbapenemases (e.g. KPC-2) and loss or modification of the major non-selective porins OmpK35 and OmpK36. However, the mechanism underpinning OmpK36-mediated resistance and consequences of these changes o...
