Genetic characteristics of clinical carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: epidemic ST11 KPC-2-producing strains and non-negligible NDM-5-producing strains with diverse STs

Genetic characteristics of clinical carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: epidemic ST11 KPC-2-producing strains and non-negligible NDM-5-producing strains with diverse STs

Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is among the most important Gram-negative pathogens that can cause serious nosocomial infections. The emergence and prevalence of hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (Hv-CRKP) pose a significant challenge to public health. In this study, we characterized t...
