The global emergence of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clones is a significant threat to public health. We used WGS and phylogenetic analysis of Spanish isolates to investigate the population structure of blaOXA-48-like-expressing K. pneumoniae ST11 and ST405 and to determine the distribution of resistance genes and plasmids encoding blaOXA-48-like carbapenemases.
