An Assessment of Siderophore Production, Mucoviscosity, and Mouse Infection Models for Defining the Virulence Spectrum of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
The pathogenic potential of hvKp strains is primarily mediated by a large virulence plasmid. The minimal set of genes required for the full expression of the hypervirulent phenotype is undefined.
