Genomic analysis showed that the strain belonged to sequence type ST23 and serotype K1, a major hvKp clone, and harbored three resistance-encoding plasmids. Among them, a <i>bla</i><sub>VIM-1</sub>-bearing plasmid was found to possess a mosaic structure presumably generated by multiple gene mobilization events. This finding indicates that hvKp a ...[more]
