      Lam, Margaret M.C.; Wyres, Kelly L.; Wick, Ryan R.; Judd, Louise M.; Fostervold, Aasmund; Holt, Kathryn E.; Löhr, Iren Høyland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: MDR and hypervirulence (hv) are typically observed in separate Klebsiella pneumoniae populations. However, convergent strains with both properties have been documented and potentially pose a high risk to public ...
    • Emergence and rapid global dissemination of CTX-M-15-associated Klebsiella pneumoniae strain ST307 

      Wyres, Kelly L.; Hawkey, Jane; Hetland, Marit; Fostervold, Aasmund; Wick, Ryan R.; Judd, Louise M.; Hamidian, Mohammad; Howden, Benjamin P.; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Holt, Kathryn E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Objectives: Recent reports indicate the emergence of a new carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clone, ST307. We sought to better understand the global epidemiology and evolution of this clone and evaluate its ...
