Abstract

As a leading health care-acquired infection pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae is threatening a large number of inpatients due to its diverse antibiotic resistance and virulence factors. Heretofore, with a growing number of reports about the coexistence of several carbapenemases in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP), epidemiologic surveillance has been strengthened.
