A Nationwide Screen of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Reveals an Isolate with Enhanced Virulence and Clinically Undetected Colistin Heteroresistance

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...
