Distribution of antimicrobial drug resistance genotypes of KPC and NDM-1 genes in related Enterobacteriaceae strains and plasmids in Pakistan and the United States. Phylogenetic trees have been annotated with the specific β-lactamases encoded by those isolates. Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase carriage is indicated by bold text, and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 carriage is indicated by bold, underlined text. A) Escherichia coli; B) Klebsiella pneumoniae; C) Enterobacter cloacae; D) Enterob
