Violin plots showing the unique isolate counts from each patient in a study of dominant carbapenemase-encoding plasmids in clinical Enterobacterales isolates and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, Singapore. Unique isolates were defined as different species or different sequence types from same species. We separated unique isolates into 3 groups: blaKPC dominant (n = 196), blaNDM dominant (n = 203), and all others (n = 504), which included blaKPC nondominant, blaNDM nondominant, and others. Brackets indicate p values for nonparametric Mann-Whitney tests between groups.
