Coexistence of Multidrug Resistance and Virulence in a Single Conjugative Plasmid from a Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate of Sequence Type 25

Coexistence of Multidrug Resistance and Virulence in a Single Conjugative Plasmid from a Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate of Sequence Type 25

ABSTRACT Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) has received considerable attention. Typically, the genetic elements that confer virulence are harbored by nonconjugative plasmids. In this study, we report a CR-hvKP strain, CY814036, of high-risk sequence type 25 (ST25) an...
