Molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Japan: Predominance of CTX-M-15 and emergence of hypervirulent clones

Objective: To provide data on the molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates in Japan. Methods: A total of 100 clinical isolates of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae collected throughout Japan between June and July 2018 were studied...
