Involvement of Tn3 transposon in formation and transmission of hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Involvement of Tn3 transposon in formation and transmission of hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

ABSTRACT Hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a severe threat to public health for its high pathogenicity, transmissibility, and drug resistance. This study aims to explore the evolutionary path and the role of Tn3 transposon in the virulence and carbapenem resistance t...
