Capsular type K54, clonal group 29 and virulence plasmids: an analysis of K54 and non-K54 closely related isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Oct 2018

Abstract excerpt

Capsular type K54 of Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with hypervirulence and we sought to discover the basis for this among isolates submitted to the UK reference laboratory between 2012 and 2017. Isolates were typed by variable number tandem repeat analysis, and capsular type and virulence elements sought by PCR. The most prevalent type found (15/31 isolates) corresponded to clonal group (CG) 29 and included...
