Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The development of multidrug resistance is a major problem in the treatment of pathogenic microorganisms by distinct antimicrobial agents. Characterizing the genetic variation among plasmids from different bacterial species or strains is a key step towards understanding the mechanism of virulence and their evolution. RESULTS: We applied a deep sequencing approach to 206 clinical strains of Klebsiella...
