Iron metabolism contributes to virulence by enhancing serum resistance in the emerging high-risk clone ST15 CRKP [PDF]
VirulenceST15 has become one of the most common sequence types of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in China; however, the characteristics of ST15 CRKP remains elusive. This study included a total of 72 unique CRKP isolates, comprising ST15, ST11,
