Background: The global dissemination of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKp) poses a critical threat to public health. However, comprehensive data on the prevalence and resistance rates of CR-hvKp are limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to estimate the pooled prevalence of carbapenem resistance among hvKp strains and assess the distribution of carbapenemase genes.

However, resistance and incomplete response remain considerable challenges. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition is a novel therapeutic strategy for the management of dyslipidemia by enhancing the clearance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol receptors, however recent evidence also shows links between PCSK9 and cancer cells.
