In the published article, there was an error in Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, and their respective captions, as published. Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, as used in the published article, were not the latest iterations of these figures.

The corrected figures, in addition to their corrected captions, appear below.

In the published article, there were numerous textual errors in Section 3.2, “Characteristics of CRKP isolates.”

A correction has been made to the following sentences within Section 3.2:

  • “The most prevalent pattern, designated P4, exhibited resistance to antibiotics belonging to the penicillin, cephalosporin, carbapenem, monobactam, aminoglycoside, fluoroquinolone, tetracycline, and sulfonamide classes.”

  • “The P4 pattern was first identified in 2018 and showed a marked increase by 2021 (Figure 1).”

  • “This pattern was initially detected in Region A in 2017 and was confirmed to be confined to this region until 2019.”

  • “By 2021, the presence of the P4 pattern had been further verified in a hospital in Region I, which participated in the Kor-GLASS surveillance system for the first time.”

The corrected sentences appear below:

  • “The most prevalent pattern, designated P21, exhibited resistance to antibiotics belonging to the penicillin, cephalosporin, carbapenem, monobactam, aminoglycoside, fluoroquinolone, tetracycline, tigecycline, and sulfonamide classes.”

  • “The P21 pattern was first identified in 2018 and showed a marked increase by 2021 (Figure 1).”

  • “This pattern was initially detected in Region A in 2017 and was confirmed to be confined to this region until 2019.”

  • “By 2021, the presence of the P21 pattern had been further verified in a hospital in Region I, which participated in the Kor-GLASS surveillance system for the first time.”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
