Molecular Epidemiology of Hypervirulent Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

Molecular Epidemiology of Hypervirulent Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

ObjectiveTo investigate the overall distributions of key virulence genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae, especially the hypervirulent blaKPC-positive K. pneumoniae (Hv-blaKPC(+)-KP).MethodsA total of 521 complete genomes of K. pneumoniae from GenBank were collected and analyzed. Multilocus sequence typing...
