Acquisition of the Conjugative Virulence Plasmid From a CG23 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Enhances Bacterial Virulence

Acquisition of the Conjugative Virulence Plasmid From a CG23 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Enhances Bacterial Virulence

The emergence of hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) has become a hot topic and confounding problem for clinicians and researchers alike. Conjugative virulence plasmids have the potential to cause more threatening dissemination of hv-CRKP strains. We previously ide...
