A Global populations exposed to imipenem (IMP) and without IMP (AB-free) on day one, from day one to three, and day one to six. P are KPC-2 producers, either Pchr, Pconj, or Pnon-conj as specified. T are transconjugants. N are non-producers. B Admixture model where day six global populations not exposed to antibiotics were added with n (1 to 20) global populations exposed to IMP. The yellow line is the total number of producers in the global population mix and the black line is the non-producers.
