Abstract excerpt
Multilocus sequence typing was applied to a collection of 327 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae from China, which was proven to be a good representative of the global diversity of K. pneumoniae. Three lineages L1 to L3 are presented in the population with limited genetic flow across different lineages. However, extremely high levels of recombination can be observed within lineages to the extent at which...
