Prevalence of <i>bla</i><sub>KPC-2</sub>, <i>bla</i><sub>KPC-3</sub> and <i>bla</i><sub>KPC-30</sub>—Carrying Plasmids in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Isolated in a Brazilian Hospital

<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> carbapenemase (KPC) actively hydrolyzes carbapenems, antibiotics often used a last-line treatment for multidrug-resistant bacteria. KPC clinical relevance resides in its widespread dissemination. In this work, we report the genomic context of KPC coding genes...
