Molecular Epidemiological Analysis of ST11-K64 Extensively Drug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections Outbreak in Intensive Care and Neurosurgery Units Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is the primary causative bacteria for nosocomial infections and hospital outbreaks. In particular, extensively drug-resistant K. pneumoniae (XDRKp) causes severe clinical infections in hospitalized patients. Here, we used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), drug susce...
