Abstract
The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR Kp ) infections in nosocomial settings remains a public health challenge. High-risk clones such as clonal group 258 (CG258) are particularly concerning due to their association with bla KPC carriage, which can severely complicate antimicrobial treatments.
