Comparative in silico characterization of Klebsiella pneumoniae hypervirulent plasmids and their antimicrobial resistance genes

Abstract Background The hypervirulent pathotype of Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is mainly mediated by large virulent plasmids. It seems that these hypervirulent plasmids (HVPs) are accumulating antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and are turning quickly into drug-resistant hypervirulent hybrids. T...
