Sequence-Based Genomic Analysis Reveals Transmission of Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence among Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains

Sequence-Based Genomic Analysis Reveals Transmission of Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence among Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains

ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CP-Kpn) are a major concern for nosocomial infections. We previously reported an intensive care unit (ICU) outbreak of CP-Kpn. This study investigated the transmission pattern and genetic characteristic of CP-Kpn in the hospital during the outb...
