Novel Megaplasmid Driving NDM-1-Mediated Carbapenem Resistance in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> ST1588 in South America

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) is a critical public health problem in South America, where the prevalence of NDM metallo-betalactamases has increased substantially in recent years. In this study, we used whole genome sequencing to characterize a multidrug-resistant (MDR) <i>Klebsi...
