Molecular Characterization of Newly Emerged bla KPC-2 -Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Singapore Michelle N. D. Balm , Grace Ngan , Roland Jureen , Raymond T. P. Lin and Jeanette Teo Department of Laboratory Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore ABSTRACT In Asia, bla KPC detection has been limited to East Asia and not yet seen in Southeast Asia. We report four bla KPC-2 -containing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from two different hospitals in Singapore. All isolates belonged to strain type 11 (ST11) and were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). bla KPC-2 was located on nonconjugative plasmids and flanked by mobile genetic structures composed of a partial Tn 4401 transposon and a Tn 3 -based transposon which previously have been described only in Chinese isolates.
