Prevalence of bla_KPC-2, bla_KPC-3 and bla_KPC-30—Carrying Plasmids in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated in a Brazilian Hospital

Pathogens, 2021
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) actively hydrolyzes carbapenems, antibiotics often used a last-line treatment for multidrug-resistant bacteria. KPC clinical relevance resides in its widespread dissemination.

Characterization of the two tandem repeats for the KPC-2 core structures on a plasmid from hospital-derived Klebsiella pneumoniae

Scientific Reports, 2023
Today, Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are sophisticatedly associated with the transmission of KPC, and ST11 clones carrying KPC-2 are an important target for anti-infective clinical therapy, posing a very high threat to patients.

First Report of KPC-2 Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Japan [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2014
ABSTRACT We investigated a novel Japanese isolate of sequence type 11 (ST11), the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 (KPC-2)-producing K. pneumoniae strain Kp3018, which was previously obtained from a patient treated at a Brazilian hospital.

Replicative transposition contributes to the evolution and dissemination of KPC-2-producing plasmid in Enterobacterales

, 2021
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacterales are prevalent worldwide and pose an alarming threat to public health. The incidence and transmission of blaKPC-2 gene via horizontal gene transfer (e.g.

KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a hospital in the Midwest region of Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2015
The emergence of β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the last few decades has become major challenge faced by hospitals. In this study, isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 (KPC-2)-producing K. pneumoniae from a tertiary hospital in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, were characterized.

Emergence of four cases of KPC-2 and KPC-3-carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae introduced to Switzerland, 2009-10

, 2011
We report four epidemiologically unrelated cases of KPC-carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae identified in Switzerland between May 2009 and November 2010. Three cases were transferred from Italy (two KPC-3, one KPC-2) and one from Greece (KPC-2). Resistance to
