Emergence of mcr-8.2-mediated colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from pediatric diarrhea cases in southern Vietnam
This study documents the emergence of mcr-8.2-mediated colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae from pediatric diarrhea in Vietnam and highlights a high prevalence of multidrug resistance in Klebsiella spp.. Continuous surveillance of mcr genes and novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed.
