Variation in Accessory Genes Within the Klebsiella oxytoca Species Complex Delineates Monophyletic Members and Simplifies Coherent Genotyping

Variation in Accessory Genes Within the Klebsiella oxytoca Species Complex Delineates Monophyletic Members and Simplifies Coherent Genotyping

Members of the Klebsiella oxytoca species complex (KoSC) are emerging human pathogens causing infections of increasing significance especially in healthcare settings. KoSC strains are affiliated with distinct phylogroups based on genetic variation at the beta-lactamase gene (blaOXY) and it has been...
