AbstractKlebsiella pneumoniae is notorious for causing healthcare-associated infections, which become more complicated by the acquisition of blaNDM genes via mobile genetic elements. Although Pakistan is a well-established hot spot of blaNDM-positive K. pneumoniae, detailed molecular descriptions of blaNDM-carrying plasmids are scarce. Seven K. pneumoniae isolates harboring blaNDM were recovered from clinical sample sources during a six-month period and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility.
