Niches are spaces for the biological units of selection, from cells to complex communities. In
a broad sense,“species” are biological units of individuation. Niches do not exist without …

Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as an important cause of two distinct public health
threats: multi-drug resistant (MDR) healthcare-associated infections and drug susceptible …

Bacterial organisms have undergone homologous recombination (HR) and horizontal gene
transfer (HGT) multiple times during their history. These processes could increase fitness to …

Background Klebsiella pneumoniae, which is frequently associated with hospital-and
community-acquired infections, contains multidrug-resistant (MDR), hypervirulent (hv), non …

In this work we compared the most frequently used Klebsiella pneumoniae typing methods:
PFGE, cgMLST and coreSNP. We evaluated the discriminatory power of the three methods …

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, especially carbapenemase-producing
Klebsiella pneumoniae, is an urgent problem in health care facilities worldwide. K …

Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) bacteria are an increasing threat to public health and represent
one of the most concerning pathogens involved in life-threatening infections and …

Background: The high prevalence and rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance in high-risk
Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) ST147 clones is a global health concern and warrants …

The emergence and rapid increase of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae among
food-producing animals poses a serious threat to public health. The aim of this study was to …

Bacterial species often comprise well-separated lineages, likely emerged and maintained by
genetic isolation and/or ecological divergence. How these two evolutionary actors interact in …
