Mechanisms of fosfomycin resistance in clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

CONCLUSIONSThefosA3 gene is the primary mechanism of fosfomycin resistance in CRKP and can be transmitted widely by plasmid in hospitals. Mutations in murA and glpT were found in fosfomycin-resistant fosA3-negative CRKP.
