Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 268 (ST268) represents an emerging high-risk clone with significant clinical implications. Here, we present a comprehensive genomic analysis of 562 ST268 isolates collected from 44 countries across six continents between 2001 and 2024. Phylogenomic reconstruction revealed 10 distinct lineages with diverse geographic and functional signatures. Bayesian analysis dated the...
