Insertion sequences accelerate genomic convergence of multidrug resistance and hypervirulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae via capsular phase variation

Abstract Background The convergence of resistance and hypervirulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae represents a significant public health threat, driven by the horizontal transfer of plasmids. Understanding factors affecting plasmid transfer efficiency is essential to elucidate mechanisms behind emergenc...
