Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of 356 Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) isolates that were classified as classical (cl), presumptive hypervirulent (p-hv) and hypermucoviscous-like (hmv-like). Overall, K. pneumoniae (82.3%), K. variicola (2.5%) and K. quasipneumoniae (2.5%) were identified. These isolates comprised 321 cl-KpSC, 7 p-hv-KpSC and 18 hmv-like-KpSC. A large proportion of cl-KpSC isolates were extended-spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producers (64.4%) and 3.4% of isolates were colistin-resistant carrying carbapenemase and ESBL genes...
