Article Synopsis
  • Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is a major cause of severe infections in Vietnam, with a study identifying 14.3% of bloodstream infections caused by this pathogen among 700 samples, along with its presence in healthy adults but not in children.
  • Genetic diversity was noted among hvKp isolates, with 17 different sequence types identified, and about 12.6% carried antimicrobial resistance genes, which can spread between strains through specific plasmids.
  • The study highlights the connection between intestinal carriage and the spread of hvKp infections, emphasizing the need for better surveillance and the use of molecular assays for effective diagnosis and management.

Antimicrobials are a core aspect of most livestock production systems, especially in low-and middle-income countries. They underpin the efficient use of scarce feed resources and stabilize returns on capital and labor inputs. Antimicrobial use (AMU) contributes to the production of healthy animals, yet AMU in livestock is linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals, humans and the environment.

Non-typhoidal (NTS) is a food-borne zoonotic pathogen with important implications for human health. Despite its importance, the burden of NTS infections in Vietnam is unknown. We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis to describe the prevalence and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for NTS over time in Vietnam.
