Genetic and functional characterisation of a novel Klebsiella pneumoniae genomic island harbouring an accessory chaperone/usher fimbrial operon
Strain-specific Klebsiella pneumoniae virulence determinants have been described but almost exclusively for hypervirulent liver abscess-associated strains. Island-tagging and fosmid-based marker rescue were used to capture and sequence KpGI-5, a novel genomic island integrated into the met56 tRNA ge...
