摘要
The convergence of hypervirulence and multidrug resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant concern. Here, we report the first screen for hypermucoviscosity, a trait associated with increased virulence, using a U.S. surveillance collection of carbapenem- resistant (CR) K. pneumoniae isolates. We identified one hypermucoviscous isolate, which carried a gene encoding the KPC-3 carbapenemase, among numerous resistance genes. The strain further exhibited colistin heteroresistance undetected by diagnostics. This convergence of diverse resistance mechanisms and increased virulence underscores the need for enhanced K. pneumoniae surveillance.
