Genomic characteristics and hospital-associated clonal transmission analysis of ST11-K64 hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae co-harboring blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-13.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterize the co-occurrence of blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-13 genes in ST11-K64 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP), with particular focus on a hospital-associated clonal transmission caused by this clonal strain. METHODS PCR and Sanger sequencing were...
