Genome sequencing unveils blaKPC-2-harboring plasmids as drivers of enhanced resistance and virulence in nosocomial Klebsiella pneumoniae
ABSTRACTThe threat posed by Klebsiella pneumoniae in healthcare settings has worsened due to the evolutionary advantages conferred by blaKPC-2-harboring plasmids (pKPC-2). However, the specific evolutionary pathway of nosocomial K. pneumoniae carrying pKPC-2 and its transmission between patients and...
