Genetic and Functional Characterization of a Conjugative KpVP-2-Type Virulence Plasmid From a Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain

The main mechanism of virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae is the acquisition of K. pneumoniae virulence plasmids (KpVPs), which include two dominant types, namely, KpVP-1 (carrying iuc1, iro1, rmpA, and rmpA2) and KpVP-2 (carrying iuc2, iro2, and rmpA). Both are non-conjugative and associated with di...
