Study reports the dominance of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST16 and gene transfer in Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales in southern Vietnam, highlighting urgent surveillance needs.
CRE dissemination in Southern Vietnam is driven by a dual-transmission scenario. We identified distinct CPG-linked colistin resistance pathways and significant co-carriage of qnrS1 with CPGs. This highlights the potential risk of co-selection through antibiotic pressure. These findings underscore the urgent need for surveillance strategies targeting high-risk clones like K. pneumoniae ST16.
