Emergence of a Fatal ST11-KL64 Tigecycline-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Clone Cocarrying blaNDM and blaKPC in Plasmids

ABSTRACT The combination of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) infection with carbapenem and tigecycline resistance leads to significant challenges to clinical treatment, with limited available antibiotics and poor patient prognoses. The hvKP12 isolate was obtained from a blood sample of a 7...
