Colistin-resistant KPC-2–producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST423 harboring an IS5-like element in the mgrB gene isolated from cerebrospinal fluid

We describe colistin-resistant KPC-2–producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from cerebrospinal fluid, belonging to ST423, selected during treatment for neuroinfection. Colistin resistance was related to mgrB gene interruption by an IS5-like. •Two colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae were isolated from...
