Characterization of Emerging Pathogens Carrying blaKPC-2 Gene in IncP-6 Plasmids Isolated From Urban Sewage in Argentina

Untreated wastewater is a reservoir for multidrug-resistant bacteria, but its role in the spread of antibiotic resistance in the human population remains poorly investigated. In this study, we isolated a KPC-2-producing ST2787 Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. quasipneumoniae (WW14A), recovered from...
