Antimicrobial resistance, pathogenic potential, and genomic features of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in Chile: high-risk ST25 clones and novel mobile elements

Antimicrobial resistance, pathogenic potential, and genomic features of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in Chile: high-risk ST25 clones and novel mobile elements

ABSTRACT Multidrug- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) are critical threats to global health and key traffickers of resistance genes to other pathogens. Despite the sustained increase in CR-Kp infections in Chile, few strains have been described at the genomic level, lacking deta...
