Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The global spread of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) involves evolutionary convergence. This study is to characterize the chromosomal integration of virulence plasmid fragments in a newly emerged CR-hvKP sequence type 2237 (ST2237) clone and to reconstruct its evolutionary history. METHODS: Seven clinical ST2237 isolates were collected from patients at Beijing Bo'ai...
