Hypervirulence and carbapenem-resistant have emerged as two distinct evolutionary
pathotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae, with both reaching their epidemic success and posing …

Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major agent of healthcare-associated infections and
a cause of some community-acquired infections, including severe bacteremic infections …

Background Our aim was to analyze mortality attributable to carbapenem-resistant (CR)
gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). Methods …

Background Preliminary unpublished results of the survey of carbapenem-and/or colistin-

Horizontal gene transfer plays a key role in the global dissemination of antimicrobial
resistance (AMR). AMR genes are often carried on self-transmissible plasmids, which are …

International high-risk clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae are important human pathogens that
are spreading to the environment. In the COVID-19 pandemic scenario, the frequency of …

Aims To investigate the occurrence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP)
and their clonal relationships from hospital and municipal wastewater treatment plants …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major human pathogen as it is responsible for various infections.
In the past years hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) emerged and disseminated …

Antibiotic resistance is a global health issue, with Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) posing a
particular threat due to its ability to acquire resistance to multiple drug classes rapidly. OXA …

The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic features of a carbapenem-resistant
