Distinct and Shared Impacts of Virulence Plasmids on the Phenotype and Transcriptome in Convergent Carbapenem-Resistant and Hypervirulent <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>
2025-11-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The global rise of convergent carbapenem-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKp) represents a major clinical challenge, yet the role of virulence plasmids (pVirs) in shaping bacterial physiology and pathogenicity remains incompletely understood. Using a CRISPR-Cas9–based curing system, we precisely eliminated pVirs from two clinical CR-hvKp strains with distinct genetic back...
