High frequency of acquired virulence factors in carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a large German university hospital, 2013–2021
4 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CP-Kp) isolates are a public health concern as they can cause severe hospital-acquired infections that are difficult to treat. It has recently been shown that CP-Kp can take up virulence factors from hypervirulent K. pneumoniae lineages. In this study, 109 clinical CP-Kp isolates from the University Hospital Cologne were examined for the presence of acquired...
