Comprehensive genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex isolates from a tertiary hospital in Wenzhou, China (2019–2021)

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The main issue of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) research in clinical settings is the accurate identification and differentiation of the closely related species within this complex. Moreover, the emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) represent a significant public health threat due to limited treatment options and high mortality rates. Understanding the...
