Among Enterobacterales, Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is one of the major opportunistic pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. The most problematic phenomenon linked to Kp is related to the dissemination of multi-drug resistant (MDR) clones producing carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes, representing a clinical and public health threat at a global scale.
