Emergence of Plasmids Co-Harboring Carbapenem Resistance Genes and tmexCD2-toprJ2 in Sequence Type 11 Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains

Emergence of Plasmids Co-Harboring Carbapenem Resistance Genes and tmexCD2-toprJ2 in Sequence Type 11 Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains

ObjectivesTo characterize two plasmids co-harboring carbapenem resistance genes and tmexCD2-toprJ2 in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains.MethodsTwo clinical CRKP strains were isolated and characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, conjugation assays, whole-genome s...
