Coexistence of blaNDM-1 and blaIMP-4 in One Novel Hybrid Plasmid Confers Transferable Carbapenem Resistance in an ST20-K28 Klebsiella pneumoniae

ObjectivesWe identified a novel hybrid plasmid simultaneously carrying blaNDM-1 and blaIMP-4 in an ST20-K28 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strain AZS099 and reported its detailed genetic and phenotypic characterization.MethodsAntimicrobial susceptibility was characterized using br...
