Multi-drug resistance (MDR) and hypervirulence (hv) were exhibited by different well-separated Klebsiella pneumoniae lineages in the past, but their convergence clones—MDR-hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (HvKPs)—both highly pathogenic and resistant to most available antibiotics, have increasingly been r...
