High prevalence of KPC-3 in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa across multiple clonal lineages in China
Background The epidemiology of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa is rapidly evolving in China. While blaKPC-2 remains the predominant KPC variant in P. aeruginosa, blaKPC-3 has rarely been documented in this pathogen. This study investigated the molecular epidemiology, resistance and virulence characteristics, and plasmid features of blaKPC-3-producing…
