Complete genome sequencing and comparative plasmid analysis of KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from hospital sewage water in Japan

Objectives: The Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (blaKPC) gene is one of the most widespread carbapenemase genes in the world. However, there are few reports on KPC-producing bacteria in Japan. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate KPC-producing K. pneumoniae in Japan. Methods: A KPC...
