Role of the ISKpn element in mediating mgrB gene mutations in ST11 hypervirulent colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Role of the ISKpn element in mediating mgrB gene mutations in ST11 hypervirulent colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

BackgroundColistin has emerged as a last-resort therapeutic against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, particularly those attributed to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) like CRKP. Yet, alarmingly, approximately 45% of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains now manifes...
