Chromosomal integration of the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase gene (blaKPC) in Klebsiella species: Elusive but not rare
- Abstract:
-
Carbapenemase genes in Enterobacteriaceae are mostly described as being plasmid-associated. However, the genetic context of carbapenemase genes is not always confirmed in epidemiological surveys, and the frequency of their chromosomal integration is therefore unknown.
A previously sequenced collection of blaKPC-positive Enterobacteriaceae from a single US institution (2007-2012; n=281 isolates, 182 patients) was analyzed to identify chromosomal insertions of Tn4401, the trans...
