Two cases of monomicrobial intraabdominal abscesses due to KPC--3 Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 clone.

PMID 21961811 · 2011

The study describes two cases of intra-abdominal abscesses caused by KPC-3-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258. The blaKPC3 gene was identified as the resistance mechanism, which confers resistance to carbapenems.
