Molecular epidemiology and genetic dynamics of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in China

Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRhvKP) poses a significant global health threat due to its enhanced virulence and resistance. This study analyzed 5,036 publicly available K. pneumoniae genomes from China (2005–2023), identifying 1,538 CRhvKP genomes, accounting for 44.6% o...
