Abstract
were commonly involved in resistance gene acquisition. We also discovered new MDR plasmids. These results provided an overview landscape of the genetic elements associated with MDR-ST23-hvKp based on currently accessible genome data and calling for further genomic surveillance and well-designed control studies of MDR-ST23-hvKp.
