Co-conjugation of Virulence Plasmid and KPC Plasmid in a Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain

Co-conjugation of Virulence Plasmid and KPC Plasmid in a Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain

Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-HvKP) strains have been increasingly reported, and it is important to understand the evolutionary mechanisms of these highly pathogenic and resistant bacterial pathogens. In this study, we characterized a ST11 carbapenem-resistant K. pneum...
