Emergence of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Carbapenemase–Producing <i>K. pneumoniae</i> with Penicillin-Binding Protein 3 Insertions, Taiwan, 2021
and other β-lactamases, contributes to reduced susceptibility. Those findings demonstrate the emergence of a PBP3 insertion in a high-risk K. pneumoniae clone, underscoring the expansion of this resistance mechanism and the critical need for genomic surveillance and novel therapeutics to identify and treat such infections.
