Emergence of conjugative metallo-β-lactamase-encoding plasmids in the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex: First identification of IMP-8-MCR-9.1 in K. quasipneumoniae and VIM-1 in K. variicola in Taiwan
We firstly report the presence of conjugative carbapenemase-carrying plasmids in Kq and Kv in Taiwan. The recombination and dissemination of these plasmids warrant close monitoring.
