transposition mechanisms
- Research Article | Clinical Science and EpidemiologyIdentification of a Chromosomal Integrated DNA Fragment Containing the rmpA2 and iucABCDiutA Virulence Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae
This study reported for the first time and characterized in detail the genetic features of a mobile virulence-encoding fragment located in the chromosome of a clinical virulent K. pneumoniae strain and revealed the occurrence of a transposition event mediated by IS26. This genetic structure could mediate the transposition of the virulence-encoding fragment...
