Figure 1

Penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) amino acid alignment of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase–producing K. pneumoniae with PBP3 insertions, Taiwan, 2021. Representative Escherichia coli genomes with wild-type PBP3 (GenBank accession no. WP_000642213) and YRIK (accession no. AWF10252) and YRIN (accession no. YP_005225104) insertions are shown, as is K. pneumoniae genome without insertions. LC1489–91 are patient-derived K. pneumoniae genomes with PBP3 YRIT insertions from this study. Ec, E. coli; Kp, K. pneumoniae.
