Risk factors for acquisition of colistin-resistant < em > Klebsiella pneumoniae < /em > and expansion of a colistin-resistant ST307 epidemic clone in hospitals in Marseille, France, 2014 to 2017

ConclusionA ST307 CRKP clone was identified in this study, with specific chromosomal mutations in genes potentially implicated in colistin resistance. ST307 might have a propensity to be or become resistant to colistin, however confirming this requires further investigations.PMID:34047270 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.21.2000022
