Antibiotic Resistance and Mobile Genetic Elements in Extensively Drug-Resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Sequence Type 147 Recovered from Germany

Antibiotic Resistance and Mobile Genetic Elements in Extensively Drug-Resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Sequence Type 147 Recovered from Germany

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), especially multidrug-resistance plasmids, are major vehicles for the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance determinants. Herein, we analyse the MGEs in three extensively drug-resistant (XDR) <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolates from Germany. Whole gen...
