The Role of Plasmid and Resistance Gene Acquisition in the Emergence of ST23 Multi-Drug Resistant, Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

The Role of Plasmid and Resistance Gene Acquisition in the Emergence of ST23 Multi-Drug Resistant, Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

ABSTRACT Multidrug-resistant (MDR) hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) sequence type (ST) 23 (MDR-ST23-hvKp) is emerging in China. Despite its increasing importance, this pathogen has not yet been subject to detailed genomic interrogation. We identified 28 ST23 Kp isolated from three hospital...
