Tracking key virulence loci encoding aerobactin and salmochelin siderophore synthesis in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>
2018-07-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Klebsiella pneumoniae is a recognised agent of multidrug-resistant (MDR) healthcare-associated infections, however individual strains vary in their virulence potential due to the presence of mobile accessory genes. In particular, gene clusters encoding the biosynthesis of siderophores aerobactin ( iuc ) and salmochelin (iro) are associated with invasive disease and are comm...
