Klebsiella pneumoniae FCF1305 Genome sequencing. Klebsiella pneumoniae FCF1305

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain FCF13_05 is a clinical strain isolated in May/2005 from a blood culture of a child with lymphoma. This strain presents resistance to carbapenems by producing KPC-2 carbapenemase encoded in a plasmid. Furthermore, the strain is a producer of blaSHV like and blaCTX-M like Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBLs). It is the oldest KPC producing strain to be reported in Brazil (PMID 19332672) and presents resistance to gentamycin, imipenem (MIC=32 mkg/mL), meropenem (MIC=256 mkg/mL), ertapenem (MIC=256 mkg/mL), ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime (MIC=128 mkg/mL), amoxacillin-clavulanate, ceftriaxone, aztreonam, cefepime, cefoxitin (MIC=256 mkg/mL), piperacillin-tazobactam and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. This organism will be used for comparative analysis.
