Abstract excerpt
Virulence plasmids of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) have the potential to transfer to drug-resistant strains or integrate with other plasmids, facilitating the genome evolution of threatening pathogens. We conducted an in-depth analysis of the publicly available 156 complete genome sequences of hvKp together with a multi-region clinical cohort of 171 hvKp strains from China to provide evidence for...
