Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) have been increasingly reported in China. Here, a multicentre, longitudinal surveillance study on CR-hvKP is described. METHODS: We retrospectively investigated carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) in 56 centres acro...
