Journal ArticleDOI

PCR characterization and typing of Klebsiella pneumoniae using capsular type-specific, variable number tandem repeat and virulence gene targets

TL;DR: These methods provide a rapid means of characterizing and typing isolates of this important agent of community-acquired and nosocomial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct bacteriophages encoding panton-valentine leukocidin (PVL) among international methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones harboring PVL

TL;DR: Overall, lineage-specific relationships between the PVL phage, the genes that encode the toxin, and the position at which the phage inserts into the host chromosome were identified and provide important insights into the microepidemiology of PVL-MRSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid Resistance and Virulence Plasmids in "High-Risk" Clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Including Those Carrying blaNDM-5.

TL;DR: Virulence plasmids in nosocomial isolates of “high-risk” clones of sequence types (STs) 15, 48, 101, 147 and 383 carrying carbapenemase genes are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of Burkholderia species, including members of Burkholderia cepacia complex, among UK cystic and non-cystic fibrosis patients

TL;DR: The dominance of B. multivorans in CF, the presence of a B. cepacia cluster among non‐CF patients and the existence of putative novel species all highlighted the continuing role of Burkholderia species as opportunistic pathogens.
