Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-mediated killing of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) are impaired in patients with diabetes mellitus

Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) have been reported in recent years across Asian countries and pose a serious threat to public health. Neutrophils represent the first line of defense against numerous infectious pathogens, such as CR-hvKP. Neutrophil extracellular tr...
