Abstract
The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) was up to 30% between 2014 and 2016 in the study hospital. Of these 77 CRKP isolates, 22 isolates with sequence type ST11 carried the new pKPC_P16 plasmid, a pKPC_LK30 variant, and were widely disseminated between 2014 and 2015 in northern Taiwan. ? 2018
