Abstract Interpreting the phenotypes of blaSHV alleles in Klebsiella pneumoniae genomes is complex. Whilst all strains are expected to carry a chromosomal copy conferring resistance to ampicillin, they may also carry mutations in chromosomal blaSHV alleles or additional plasmid-borne blaSHV alleles that have extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) activity and/ or β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) resistance activity.
