The Emergence of Novel Sequence Type Strains Reveals an Evolutionary Process of Intraspecies Clone Shifting in ICU-Spreading Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
30 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an urgent public health problem worldwide, and its rapid evolution in the clinical environment has been a major concern. A total of 99 CRKP isolates spreading in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting were included and subjected to whole-genome sequencing, and their sequence types (STs), serotype loci, and virulence determinants were screened based on genome...
