Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection in pediatric patients differs from that in adults patients in terms of both genetic and phenotypic features, which remain to be elucidated. We present a summary of prevalent CRKP isolates from Chinese pediatric patients over 8 years, demonstrating the prevalence and clinical importance of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase genes in pediatric patients, mainly describing the genomic features of two predominant CRKP clones (ST11 and ST14) in Chinese children, and identifying four carbapenemase-encoding plasmids that contribute to the transmission of most carbapenemase genes in hospitals.
