Mobilization of the nonconjugative virulence plasmid from hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Mobilization of the nonconjugative virulence plasmid from hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract Background Klebsiella pneumoniae, as a global priority pathogen, is well known for its capability of acquiring mobile genetic elements that carry resistance and/or virulence genes. Its virulence plasmid, previously deemed nonconjugative and restricted within hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvK...
