Genomic insights into virulence factors affecting tissue-invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae infection
5 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The key virulence factors responsible for hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) infection remains elusive. METHODS: We analyzed K. pneumoniae isolates collected between 2017 and 2019 and defined hvKp as a pyogenic infection. Classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) involved a non-invasive infection or uncomplicated bacteremia. Isolates belonging to the K. pneumoniae species complex were excluded. RESULTS:...
