The changing epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Italy: Toward polyclonal evolution with emergence of high-risk lineages

Di Pilato V. Errico G. Monaco M.

Background: Previous studies showed that the epidemic of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) observed in Italy since 2010 was sustained mostly by strains of clonal group (CG) 258 producing KPC-type carbapenemases. In the framework of the National Antibiotic-Resistance Surveillance (AR-ISS), a countrywide survey was conducted in...
