Genomic analysis of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae blood isolates from nationwide surveillance in South Korea
These findings underscore the dominance of ST307 among CRKP isolates in Korea, which is driven by clonal expansion and the critical role of mobile genetic elements. Therefore, enhanced genomic surveillance and targeted infection control measures are urgently required to address the spread of CRKP in clinical settings.
