Coexistence of carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: a molecular and phenotypic analysis
Our study identified a significant percentage of MDR CRhvKp and CR-non-hvKp isolates harboring different carbapenemases, which sparked substantial concern. Herein, we highlight the concerning rapid increase of CRhvKp in Egypt. Hence, continued countrywide are surveillance is crucial to clarify the prevalence rate of these CRhvKp in Egypt.
