Genomic Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence in ST11 Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae Colonizing the Intestinal Tract of Elderly Inpatients
The ST11-KL64 clone is dominant among CRKP strains colonizing the intestinal tract of elderly patients in this region and exhibits a unique virulence gene profile characterized by a low carriage rate of classical hypervirulence markers and an incomplete rmpA2 regulator gene.
