Carriage of distinct blaKPC-2 and blaOXA-48 plasmids in a single ST11 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate in Egypt

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the complete genome sequence of KPC-2- and OXA-48-coproducing hypervirulent K. pneumoniae from Egypt. These results give new insights into the adaptation and evolution of K. pneumoniae during nosocomial infections.
