Epidemiology and clinical significance of pLVPK-like virulence plasmid in KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in eastern China: a preliminary exploration
2020-08-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> By acquiring a pLVPK-like virulence plasmid (pVir), Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K . pneumoniae (KPC-kp) evolves to a hypervirulent variant, with increasing cases reported worldwide. However, little is known about the epidemiological trend of pVir in KPC-kp, as well as clinical characteristics of infections caused by this novel strain (pVir + -KPC-kp). <h4>Methods: </h4...
