Virulence among different types of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae with multi-locus sequence type (MLST)-11, Serotype K1 or K2 strains

Virulence among different types of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae with multi-locus sequence type (MLST)-11, Serotype K1 or K2 strains

Abstract Background Two different types of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (HvKp), the MLST-11 and serotype K1/K2 strains, have been frequently described in recent studies. Although these two types of strains were described to be HvKp, their virulence was not compared. In this study, in vitro and in viv...
