Concomitant Resistance to Cefiderocol and Ceftazidime/Avibactam in Two Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Two Lung Transplant Patients.

Abstract

In this study, we present two cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae, one KPC-33- and one NDM-1-producing, showing resistance to cefiderocol and ceftazidime/avibactam, collected in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Northern Italy from two patients who had recently undergone lung transplantation. Whole-genome sequencing was performed to investigate the molecular features of these strains.
