Antimicrobial resistance, virulence genes profiles and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)
This study highlighted the diversity of CRKP strains isolated from giant panda feces, which exhibited varying levels of antibiotic resistance along with multiple ARGs, MGEs and virulence genes present. These findings emphasized the importance of monitoring and researching antibiotic resistance within wildlife populations to protect the health status of these conservation dependent animals.
