Clonal dissemination and persistence of Carbapenem-resistant <i>bla</i>KPC-2 harbouring <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> ST307 in a Tertiary Hospital in the Republic of Korea
Our findings reveal both clonal persistence within a tertiary hospital and region-specific dissemination of <i>bla</i> <sub>KPC-2</sub> producing <i>K. pneumoniae</i> ST307 across South Korea. These results highlight the importance of continuous nationwide surveillance and genomic analysis to implement effective infection control measures to mitigate further dissemination.
