Genomic dynamics of high-risk carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clones carrying hypervirulence determinants in Egyptian clinical settings
This study highlights the emergence of high-risk, extensively carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae strains co-carrying hypervirulence determinants in Egyptian clinical settings. This poses an imminent threat not only to Egypt but also to the global community, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and control strategies to combat this pathogen.
