Deskripsi
Since the 1980s, hypervirulent clonal-group CG23 serotype K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae has been recognised as a prominent cause of community-acquired liver abscess and other severe infections. Here, the authors investigate the genomic evolutionary history of CG23 and suggest a new reference strain for CG23.
