    The study analyzed carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to understand antibiotic resistance emergence and spread.

  • 2

    Phylogenetic analysis revealed distinct pathways of resistance acquisition: de novo evolution and cross-transmission.

  • 3

    Antibiotic exposure was identified as a significant risk factor for both resistance emergence and spread.

  • 4

    Comorbidities and medical devices were also linked to the spread of antibiotic resistance in patients.

  • 5

    The findings highlight the need for tailored intervention strategies to combat antibiotic resistance effectively.
