Population structure of CRE isolates. Number and proportion of CRE isolates harboring blaKPC (n = 460) that belonged to each (A) bacterial species and (B) ST. Doubles refer to STs that include two isolates; singleton STs consist of only one isolate. (C) Diversity of plasmids harboring blaKPC. As above, the term doubles refers to plasmid clusters that include two plasmids. The small proportion of plasmids that did not share a secondary MOB-cluster designation with any other plasmid are denoted as nonclustering.
