Genomic Characterization of Tissue Invasive <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Complex in a Hospital System with a Focus on Species Distribution and Hypervirulence
2020-11-05
Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen known for multidrug resistance. Current research indicates that K. pneumoniae is a complex of closely related organisms (K. pneumoniae sensu stricto, K. quasipneumoniae, K. variicola, K. quasivariicola, and K. africana). Additionally, some strains of K. pneumoniae sensu stricto, known as hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp), cause severe infections in healthy m...
