Minimum Evolution tree of amino acid sequences for KPC-2 to KPC-17.

Abstract

<p>KPC-15 carbapenemase was our newly discovered and appeared to be homogenous with KPC-4 closely. The amino acid sequences of KPCs based on the data of <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0111491#pone-0111491-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1</a>. This comparison was designed and analysed using MEGA 5.05 software.</p
