Researchers from Zhejiang University Publish Research in Klebsiella pneumoniae (Genome sequence of the hypervirulent ST65 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate carrying mcr-8 from China).

Researchers from Zhejiang University in China have published a study on a hypervirulent ST65 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate carrying the mcr-8 gene. The study aimed to investigate the molecular characteristics and resistance mechanisms of this strain, which showed high resistance to colistin. The research highlights the importance of monitoring colistin-resistant and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains in the future. [Extracted from the article]
