The increasing spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae represents a serious threat to public health and a major concern for clinicians. In K. pneumoniae, KPC is the most important determinant of carbapenem resistance owing to its distribution worldwide and to the high mortality rates associated with infections due to KPC-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) strains
