K. pneumoniae strain 1534 is mainly due to production of a novel Bush group 2f, class A, carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase, KPC-1, although alterations in porin expression may also play a role.
Changes in the prevalence of nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus in the United States, 2001-2004.
