Abstract excerpt
BK polyomavirus (BKV) infection, a common complication following kidney transplantation, can lead to BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVN). Molecular genetic studies have classified BKV into four genotypes (I-IV); however, comprehensive molecular characterization of BKV strains circulating in China remains limited. This study aimed to elucidate the predominant subtypes and clinical infection characteristics of BKV...
