Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The global rise of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection (CRKP-BSI) is alarming due to its link to increased morbidity and mortality from limited treatment options. This study evaluated the impact of virulence plasmid carriage on CRKP-BSI mortality. METHODS: A matched case-control study was conducted among 93 CRKP patients, 23 of whom tested positive for virulence plasmids....
