Ceftazidime/Avibactam Resistance in Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

We identified a novel ceftazidime/avibactam resistance mechanism in sequence type 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 2–producing K. pneumoniae. Plasmid recombination and chromosomal integration formed a novel virulence plasmid and provided an additional promoter for blaSHV-12, leading to blaSHV...
