<b>Genomic analyses identify nosocomial transmission of ST23 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent </b><b><i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i></b><b> </b><b>mediated by a conjugative IncFII</b>_{<strong>K2</strong>}<b> </b><b>NDM-1 plasmid</b>

The World Health Organization has identified ST23 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> (CR-hvKP) as a critical public health threat. Through China's national surveillance system (BRICS), we identified and characterized ST23 CR-hvKP bloodstream isolates from 2019–2023.
