Draft Genome Sequence of the First Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. <i>quasipneumoniae</i> Isolate from a Bloodstream Infection
18 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella quasipneumoniae is a recently described species, formerly identified as K. pneumoniae phylogroup KpII. Information on pathogenic and virulence potential of this species are lacking. We sequenced the genome of a hypermucoviscous K. quasipneumoniae clinical isolate showing a virulence genes content (allABCDRS, kfuABC, and mrkABCDFHIJ) peculiar to hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains.
