Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial pathogen of emerging importance and displays resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as carbapenems. Here, we report the genome sequences of five clinical K. pneumoniae isolates, four of which are carbapenem resistant. Carbapenem resistance is conferred by hydrolyzing class A β-lactamases found adjacent to transposases.
肺炎克雷伯菌是一种新出现的重要医院病原体,对碳青霉烯类等广谱抗生素具有耐药性。在此,我们报告了5株临床肺炎克雷伯菌分离株的基因组序列,其中4株对碳青霉烯类耐药。碳青霉烯类耐药性是由位于转座酶附近的A类β-内酰胺酶水解所致。
