Virulence factors in carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Hypervirulence and carbapenem-resistant have emerged as two distinct evolutionary pathotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae, with both reaching their epidemic success and posing a great threat to public health. However, as the boundaries separating these two pathotypes fade, we assist a worrisome convergence in certain high-risk clones, causing hospital ...

Emergence of colistin-heteroresistant and carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
To investigate the clinical emergence of colistin-heteroresistant, hypervirulent, and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, and characterize the underlying molecular mechanisms.The population analysis profiles (PAPs) method was used to detect colistin heteroresistance. The time-killing assay was used to examine the effect of colistin on carbapenem-
