Carbapenemase-Negative, Extensively Drug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates
Two extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-KP) strains, isolated from abdominal fluid and urine specimens and exhibiting non-susceptibility to nearly all classes of antibiotics, were characterized by whole-genome sequencing to investigate the mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems and other antibiotics.
