Dissemination of KPC-2-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST792 in Southern China
This study characterizes the nosocomial dissemination of KPC-2-producing <i>K. pneumoniae</i> ST792 strains, elucidating their antimicrobial resistance patterns and plasmid-mediated transmission mechanisms to inform infection control strategies. The urgent need for enhanced surveillance and strict implementation of infection control measures is underscored to mitigate the spread of hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant pathogens.
