In-depth characterization of multidrug-resistant NDM-1 and KPC-3 co-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream isolates from Italian hospital patients

ABSTRACTBloodstream infection (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) poses significant challenges, particularly when the infecting isolate carries multiple antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes/determinants. This study, employing short- and long-read whole-genome sequencing,...
