ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasingly being regarded as a reservoir of diverse antibiotic resistance genes and a pathogen that causes severe infections in both the hospital and the community. In this study, we performed molecular characterization of a carbapenem-resistant and highly virulen...
