Accessory Genomes Drive Independent Spread of Carbapenem-Resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Clonal Groups 258 and 307
2021-08-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR Kp ) are urgent public health threats. Worldwide dissemination of CR Kp has been largely attributed to the clonal group (CG) 258. However, recent evidence indicates the global emergence of a CR Kp CG307 lineage. Houston, Texas is the first large city in the US with co-circulation of both CR Kp CG307 and CG258. We sought to characterize the genomic...
