 * Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC), although initially identified in K. pneumoniae, have now been recognized in a variety of other Enterobacteriaceae. Organisms possessing these enzymes are often resistant to one or more of the carbapenems.

 * The predominant carbapenem-resistance mechanisms are the loss of OprD, an outer membrane protein, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs), and the metalo-β-lactamases (MBLs), which hydrolyze the carbapenem.
