Discussion

Cross-sectional study identifies antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors in K. pneumoniae isolates, indicating present threats.

Eighty-three clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were analyzed for resistance patterns and virulence factors.
Among the isolates, 16.87% were hypervirulent and 83.13% classic, with all being multidrug-resistant.
Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed 18.07% exhibited carbapenem resistance, emphasizing the severity of threats.
The presence of the type VI secretion system did not significantly correlate with resistance or virulence genes, except for ciprofloxacin.

Haddadi et al. (2025) studied this question.
