Abstract excerpt
Hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (HCKP) strains cause infections of extremely high morbidity and mortality, and pose a great threat to public health. The number of reports of HCKP has increased in recent years. However, phenotypic characteristics, and structural features of the resistance and virulence plasmids carried by different geographic strains of HCKP may vary. We collected 18...
