Genetic diversity, mobilisation and spread of the yersiniabactin-encoding mobile element ICEKp in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> populations
2017-01-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that frequently transfer within and between bacterial species play a critical role in bacterial evolution, and often carry key accessory genes that associate with a bacteria’s ability to cause disease. MGEs carrying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and/or virulence determinants are common in opportunistic pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae , which are a leading cause of...
