One-year surveillance for hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae detected carbapenem-resistant superbugs
ABSTRACTHypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) can cause infections in clinically healthy people, such as young and immunocompetent patients. Genes involved in the capsule synthesis or those encoding the siderophores have been adopted as predictors of hvKp. Certain sequence types, such as ST23 a...
