Genomic surveillance reveals virulence factors in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, highlighting urgent infection control needs.
BB-7 represents a novel CR-hvKp strain with a unique ST7947 genotype, exhibiting co-resistance and hypervirulence, raising concern for public health. The association of high-risk resistance plasmids with virulence factors underscores the urgent need for enhanced genomic surveillance, infection control, and devising specific therapies to restrict the proliferation of such strains.
