Genomic features associated with the degree of phenotypic resistance to carbapenems in carbapenem-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains cause severe infections that are difficult to treat. The production of carbapenemases such as the K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) is a common mechanism by which these strains resist killing by the carbapenems. However, the degree of phenotypic car...
