Dissemination of virulence and resistance genes among Klebsiella pneumoniae via outer membrane vesicle: An important plasmid transfer mechanism to promote the emergence of carbapenem‐resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is well-known opportunistic enterobacteria involved in complex clinical infections in humans and animals. The domestic animals might be a source of the multidrug-resistant virulent K. pneumoniae to humans. K. pneumoniae infections in domestic animals are considered as an emergent global concern. The horizontal gene transfer plays essential roles in bacterial genome evolution by spread of...
