Epidemiology and molecular characteristics of the type VI secretion system in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from bloodstream infections
12 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The type VI secretion system (T6SS) has been identified as a novel virulence factor. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the T6SS genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced bloodstream infections (BSIs). We also evaluated clinical and molecular characteristics of T6SS-positive K pneumoniae. METHODS: A total of 344 non-repetitive K. pneumoniae bloodstream isolates and relevant clinical data...
