Associations of the major international high-risk resistant clones and virulent clones with specific ompK36 allele groups in Klebsiella pneumoniae in Taiwan
This study was conducted to investigate the association between ompK36 variants and international high-risk clones in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Fifty-nine sequence types (STs) divided into four ompK36 allele groups (groups A to D) were identified among 185 K. pneumoniae isolates. The major high-risk cl...
