Chasing the landscape for intrahospital transmission and evolution of hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
31 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
The spread of hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (Hv-CRKP) is a global health concern. Here, we report the intrahospital colonization and spread of Hv-CRKP isolates in a tertiary hospital from 2017 to 2022.
