Analysis of the Association Between Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Virulence Factors in ST11 and Non-ST11 CR-KP Bloodstream Infections in the Intensive Care Unit
The study reveals that ST11 type CR-KP in intensive care unit bloodstream infections exhibits stronger resistance and higher virulence compared to non-ST11 types, posing significant challenges to clinical treatment. Thus, strict control over the use of carbapenem antibiotics is essential to prevent the spread of resistant plasmids.
