< em > Klebsiella pneumoniae < /em > sequence type 147: a high-risk clone increasingly associated with plasmids carrying both resistance and virulence elements

Conclusion. This study highlights the high proportion of representatives of ST147 that carry IncFIB(pNDM-Mar)/IncHI1B(pNDM-MAR) hybrid resistance virulence plasmids. It is important to be aware of the high probability that representatives of this type carry these plasmids combining resistance and virulence determinants and of the consequent increased risk to patients.PMID:38629482 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001823
