Convergence and global epidemiology of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> plasmids harbouring the <i>iuc</i> 3 virulence locus

2024-01-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is an important pathogen of humans and animals, and recent reports of ‘convergent’ strains that carry both virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) have raised serious public health concern. The plasmid-borne iuc locus, encoding the siderophore aerobactin, is a key virulence factor in this species. The variant iuc 3 is associated with porcine and human c...
