cord-025811-i8gy4dhj	Loconsole, Daniela	Emerging high-risk ST101 and ST307 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clones from bloodstream infections in Southern Italy	2020-06-01		.txt	text/plain	4530	249	50	In our country, recent studies on the molecular epidemiology of KPC-KP from invasive infections showed an expansion of strains belonging to sequence types (STs) 512 and 258 of the hyperepidemic clonal complex (CC) 258 [7, 17] , which was detected for the first time in Italy in 2008 [18] . In this study, we present the results of molecular characterization of CR-KP strains isolated from hospitalized patients with BSIs detected during the 3-year period from 2014 to 2016 in three large provinces of the Puglia region in Southern Italy. During the study period, almost all of the CR-KP strains isolated from the patients with BSIs in the Puglia region (Southern Italy) carried the bla KPC gene (96%), confirming that the production of the KPC-type carbapenemase was the most common carbapenem-resistance mechanism, as previously reported in Italy [7, 9] and Southern Italy [28] .	./cache/cord-025811-i8gy4dhj.txt	./txt/cord-025811-i8gy4dhj.txt
