Abstract

We described the genome and resistome characterization of a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 strain carrying bla IMP-38 in China. This report highlights that the high-risk ST307 clone continues to acquire different antimicrobial resistance genes, posing significant challenges to clinical practice, and should be closely monitored.
