Emergence of a Superplasmid Coharboring Hypervirulence and Multidrug Resistance Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae Poses New Challenges to Public Health

ABSTRACT The emergence of plasmids coharboring hypervirulence (Hv) and multidrug resistance (MDR) genes has further accelerated the spread of MDR-Hv Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-HvKP) strains, having a severe impact on public health. Here, we report an MDR-Hv superplasmid coharboring hypervirulence an...
