Klebsiella pneumoniae
Infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) have few treatment options and are associated with high mortality, posing a major public health cross-border threatglobally. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are predominantly hospital-acquired and carbapenem resistance is transmitted via clonal spread or horizontal plasmid-mediated transmission.
