Report of High-Risk Carbapenem-Resistant K. pneumoniae ST307 Clone Producing KPC-2, SHV-106, CTX-M-15, and VEB-1 in Greece
The coexistence of these resistance genes in addition to aminoglycoside, quinolone, and other resistance genes results in difficult-to-treat infections caused by respective carrier strains, often requiring the use of last-resort antibiotics and contributing to the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
