Genomic evidence for putative insertion sequence-associated chromosomal integration of aerobactin virulence loci in ST11 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
Background The global rise in hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) poses a severe threat to public health. However, the evolutionary mechanisms underlying hypervirulence in carbapenem-resistant strains remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the genetic basis of hypervirulenc...
