19 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
A carbapenem-resistant hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate was recovered from human sputum. Whole genome sequencing of this isolate was carried out to reveal its clonal background, antimicrobial resistance determinants and virulence factors. Virulence assays were performed using wax moth larvae. The transfer of bla NDM-5 between bacterial strains was tested using conjugation. 59 genome assemblies of...
