The first reported case of an intra-abdominal abscess caused by KPC-2-producing hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae with porin mutations successfully treated with Imipenem/relebactam in a Japanese patient.

We performed full-length genomic sequencing of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae harboring blaKPC-2 isolated from patients with bacteremia and intra-abdominal abscesses.
