Antimicrobial Resistance Caused by KPC-2 Encoded by Promiscuous Plasmids of the Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 Strain.

CONCLUSIONS: The ease of horizontal transfer of KPC-Kp ST307 carbapenem resistance has serious public health and epidemiological implications. This study provides a better understanding of the genetic characteristics that can contribute to the growth and spread of KPC-Kp ST307, and their association with antimicrobial resistance genes.
