Molecular Characterization of the Convergent Carbapenem-Resistant and Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain K1-ST23, Collected in Chile during the COVID-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic features of a carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKp) isolate (K-2157) collected in Chile. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using the disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods. Whole-genome sequenci...
