Increasing polymyxin resistance in clinical carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in China between 2000 and 2023
Our results highlight frequent clonal transmission of polymyxin-resistant CRKP within hospitals. Continuous surveillance of polymyxin resistance among CRKP should be implemented to prevent further dissemination of such strains in clinical settings in China.
