Epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST15 of producing KPC-2, SHV-106 and CTX-M-15 in Anhui, China.

ABSTRACT: It is well known that carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a more problematic public health issue due to its widespread spread worldwide. In China, ST11-type CRKP is the most prevalent CRKP, but ST15-type CRKP, a recently prevalent high-risk clone, has emerged widely throughout China, posing a serious public health risk. Therefore, we conducted an epidemiological of an outbreak of ST15 CRKP of producing CTX-M-15, KPC-2 and SHV-106 in a tertiary hospital in Anhui, China, to Understanding the potential risks of the current STT15 CRKP outbreak. From July 2021 to December 2021, 13 ST15 CRKP isolates were identified by collecting non-repeated clinical multidrug-resistant isolates, with all capsular typing of serotype KL19. All ST15 CRKP isolates were resistant to cephalo
