Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Although K64-type carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKp) has been reported, its molecular characteristics remain unclear. This study aimed to characterize the phenotypic and molecular features of K64 putative hypervirulent CR-K. pneumoniae (phvKp).. METHODS: Two K64 putative hypervirulent CR-K. pneumoniae isolates were recovered from a patient in the emergency intensive...
