Klebsiella pneumoniae Mutants Resistant to Ceftazidime-Avibactam Plus Aztreonam, Imipenem-Relebactam, Meropenem-Vaborbactam, and Cefepime-Taniborbactam [PDF]
We show that a previously described Klebsiella pneumoniae variant that is resistant to ceftazidime-avibactam plus meropenem-vaborbactam, has a ramR plus ompK36 mutation, and produces the V239G variant KPC-3 (V240G per the standard numbering system ...
